1997 Atlas Peak, Cabernet Sauvignon, Consenso, Atlas Peak, Napa Valley, California, $30, 1,000 cases. 6% Sangiovese and 4% Merlot is blended into the wine. The nose is a mélange of cassis, blackberry, oak, spice and coffee beans. Elegant on the palate, the fruit is complex and enjoyable. Deft use of oak and satiny tannins are additional pluses. This is a real sleeper. 90/91.
