1994 Sebastiani Cabernet Sauvignon

[Drew]

Prepared peppercorn encrusted grilled tuna caught 60 miles off the Delaware Bay and served with large baked spuds with sour cream, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Salad consisted of romaine, roasted mixed peppers, olives, mushrooms, red onions, spring onion,radish and zuccini tossed with a raspberry/vinegarette dressing. The wine was the last 94' Sebastiani I had...clear garnet with somewhat alcoholic nose mixed with black fruit and subtle sweet oak scents. This wine is almost pure fruit, just a smidgeon of oak, with blackberry and ripe plum and black cherry notes. The wine is still somewhat astringent both midpalete and finish. Seemed closed compared to the 96' which I think is more extracted/concentrated with better integrated tannins. A more plush, rich wine. The 94' pared nicely with the pepper tuna and my wife loved it all....(points for me!!!).
