Etude Wines Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1997
Napa Valley
"Etude's 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon is a richer, more expansive example with an opaque purple color, graceful, creamy-textured black currant flavors, and subtle notes of toasty oak. Expressive aromatically (black fruits galore) and full-bodied, it possesses the vintage's tell-tale silkiness and depth. Because of its low acidity and ripe personality, it should drink well upon release and last for two decades." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 120, 12/23/98
