Lot #824. Flora Springs Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Hillside Reserve 1996

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 92 RP.
"The dark ruby/purple-colored, stunningly rich 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Reserve is still in need of bottle age. The wine reveals a saturated color, as well as a promising but restrained nose of toasty new oak, jammy blackberries, cassis, licorice, and spice. It is extremely rich and spicy in the mouth, with moderate tannin, full body, superb purity of flavor, and outstanding potential." Wine Advocate #120, Dec 1998
Provenance: The Maquereau Cellar
Notes: Lightly scuffed capsule, very lightly scuffed label.
