title: Lail 1998 J. Daniel Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
description: Among the better '98s, this wine's vineyard pedigree shows in the polished fruit and supple tannins, the result of great terroir. The aromas suggest black cherries and blackberries with intense oaky, smoky tones. Particularly notable for the soft, lush mouthfeel, like sipping pure velvet. If the wine were more concentrated it would be classic.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
