"he 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon is in a great place to deliver a tremendous drinking experience. The aromatics are now fully expressive, and yet the wine retains tremendous richness and concentration, with potent, old-school tannins that will absolutely thrill readers who love classically built wines. Sweet tobacco, game, menthol, licorice, mint and dried flowers add stunning layers of aromatic nuance. Even so, the 1996 remains young and virile. With perfect storage it will drink well for another 20-30 years."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
