"The opaque purple-colored 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Black Sears Vineyard offers a sexy, up-front nose of blackberries, cassis, and smoke. Sweet, succulent, and jammy, with explosive ripeness as well as admirable flavor intensity, this low acid Cabernet has huge reserves of fruit, glycerin, extract, and tannin that have been melded into a seamless, concentrated wine of exceptional potential." -Robert M. Parker, Jr.

"A real mouthful. An ultraripe, racy, herbaceous style that offers lots of dill and bell pepper shading to the jammy plum and wild berry flavors. Finishes with a good dose of heat and tannins."
