The Bordeaux-styled 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon is smooth and round, with aromas and flavors of herbs, earth, and black currants. It is well-balanced, and made in a forward, attractive style. Readers should know that 1998 has been deemed by many as a bad vintage for North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, yet many attractive wines have been produced. Anticipated maturity: now-2012.
