"Bright ruby. Aromatic, superripe aromas of roasted black plum, macerated raspberries, maple syrup, leather and Worcestershire sauce. Terrific intensity and structure; sweet and smoky in the mouth, with the roasted character repeating. Finishes with dusty, very fine tannins. Not far behind the '97 in quality."

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.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
