title: M. Trinchero 1997 Family Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Barbara County)
description: A nicely crafted wine with all the attributes of fine Cabernet: plush black-currant and berry fruit, a dose of vanilla-scented oak, and sage notes. Drinks dry and smooth, with a few tannins to shed. Finishes rough, but pretty good, especially at this giveaway price.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Family Selection
