title: Stags' Leap Winery 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
description: Structured and built for the long haul, the densely packed aromatics hint at the power within. Blackberry, earth, fruitcake and cinnamon are all there, and the palate delivers a similar mix with added coffee, cocoa and licorice elements. Great texture and weight, and a lengthy finish with dry, even tannins. Best if cellared four to six years, and will keep for ages.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
