"The saturated ruby/purple-colored 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 1.5% Petit Verdot, and .5% Merlot) reveals a classic cassis, licorice, and toasty-scented nose, fruit cake, cedar, and spice flavors, and a yummy, fleshy, hedonistic finish. While it can be drunk now, it will benefit from another year of cellaring, and should age well . . ." |
