Ripe, rich and focused, not especially Cabernet-like, but a juicy red with broad cherry and berry fruit, finishing with a peppery note and fine tannins. Drink now through 2007. 50 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Barossa / Barossa Valley Select to Add

This very youthful, ruby/purple-colored wine offers up notes of cassis and earth. The wine has not yet begun to emerge from its recent bottling, but shows terrific depth, purity, and density, with plenty of black fruits intermixed with some cedar and licorice. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2018.

The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon is supple-textured with medium body, excellent cedary, tobacco, and black currant notes, silky tannin, low acidity, and a finish that caresses the palate. It should be drunk sooner rather than later ... over the next 5-6 years. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
