| Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Tasting Notes
1995 Farella-Park Vineyards
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon estate bottled
Score: 79.0
"Firm blackberry fruit, moderate tannin, some bitterness and an odd witch hazel note in the background that puts me off."
|
1997 Hogue Barrel Select
Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 88.0
"Full-bodied with lush blackberry fruit and light herbal edges, soft tannin and a silky texture. A fruit-forward style of Cabernet with some complexity in the finish. This is a wine that should appeal to connoiseurs and novices alike. "

1997 M. Trinchero Founders Estate
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 94.0
"Round and penetrating with a taste that doesnt attack, but envelopes, every element integrated into a whole so seamless that it creates one impression. Youve never tasted a more approachable young Cabernet (the tannin is unobtrusive), and the flavor is like black currant and subtle spice. A real achievement from the makers of Sutter Home wines."

1997 Robert Craig
Mt. Veeder Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 90.0
"Earthy blackberry with a touch of cassis and fully integrated oak spice, moderate tannin and a lengthy finish. This is a classically structured wine that is enjoyable now, though it seems to be holding back a little at the moment. It should age very well. "

1996 Rodney Strong
Alden Vineyards Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 91.0
"Rich, powerfully aromatic, cassis and cherry fruit, with medium body and moderate tannin, and a warm long finish."
|
1996 Mitchelton
Victoria Australia Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 88.0
"Blackberry and tobacco leaf, medium body and tannin. Fine, classic Cabernet. "
|
1996 Fleur du Cap Unfiltered
Coastal Region South Africa Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 89.0
"Dark chocolate, fresh blackberry, dry, light tannin, a cocoa and berry middle and tart fruity fihish. Confident. Self-assured. A fine expression of the grape."
|
1996 William Hill
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
Score: 93.0
"A wine for special occasions-exceedingly complex, yet restrained. Its has an expanding aroma of cassis and toast, while on the palate it adds licorice and graham cracker spice. Moderate tannin, light bodied for a Cabernet, its so good now that theres no need to wait, but it should age gracefully for the next 8 to 10 years."
|
1997 William Hill
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 88.0
"The tight plummy nose begins to loosen up on the palate, bringing forth lush blackberry fruit with subtle oak shadings. Its a very good wine now, but Id prefer to lay it away for another year to see if the nose opens up."
|
1997 Vichon Mediterranean
[france] Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 84.0
"Like the '97 Merlot, the Cab is think and silky on the mid-palate, but the Cab is the more interesting wine, having black currant character and better length. Worth $8.00."
|
1995 Silver Oak
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 87.0
"Tart blackberry and black currant, tight, balanced, medium tannin, spicy oak and fruit finish. Holding back at this early stage, it really opens with some aeration, revealing more layers and subtlety. Cellar at least for another 5 years. Rated for current drinking"
|
1997 Round Hill
California Cabernet Sauvignon
Score: 85.0
"Blackberry, cherry and a hint of red bell pepper anchor the core of this Cabernet. Light tannin and bright fruit make it a joy to drink right now. The perfect hamburger wine."
