Cardinale--Vintage 1997
Napa Valley
"The spectacular 1997 Cardinale (91 Cabernet Sauvignon and 9 Merlot, of which 79 of the grapes came from Napa and 21 from Sonoma) was aged 22 months in 100 new French oak before being bottled unfiltered. The wine's vineyard sources include Rutherford, To-Kalon, Mt. Veeder, and Keyes Vineyard on Howell Mountain. The wine's opaque purple color is accompanied by a glorious nose of licorice, cassis, lead pencil, and minerals. Sweet, with a terrific attack displaying stupendous ripeness, full-bodied richness, and a natural texture with a super-concentrated mid-palate and finish, this is a star of the vintage." Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 126, 2000
