1999 Showket Cabernet Sauvignon

The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (5% Cabernet Franc is included in the blend) is an elegant, pretty effort offering black currant flavors intermixed with spicy oak and floral notes. The wine possesses a plush texture, impeccable purity, fine balance, and a medium to full-bodied, long finish. It will drink well over the next decade. Showket has 27 acres planted on the eastern hillsides of Oakville, near Dalla Valle. Their debut releases reflect a bold pricing policy, but the wines are unquestionably excellent. Tel. (707) 944-1101
