title: Bartholomew Park 1997 Alta Vista Vyds Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma Valley)
description: An unmistakable meatiness marks the nose, and then there's some Middle Eastern spices like cumin and coriander. Earthy and full of black-fruit flavor, with oak pouring in late. Try to ignore the bulky young tannins; assume the wine will mature and find its stride down the road.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Alta Vista Vyds
