Some refreshing tea-leaf aromas but low tannins, so not a long-distance runner from this popular vineyard. (JR)

Superb (but expensive) is the 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Vineyard. This vineyard, adjacent to Mondavi's To-Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, is the source of this offering. Black currant liqueur notes intermingled with licorice, chocolate, cedar, and tobacco emerge from this full-bodied, opaque purple-colored wine. Very concentrated, thick, with juicy, very expansive mid-palate and sweet tannin, this is a prodigious Cabernet Sauvignon that can be drunk now or cellared for 15-20+ years. What an impressive debut performance. Tel. (800) 244-4090 Fax. (800) 600-5895
