1997 Viader Estate

[winoweenie]

Took the Great-Grandson shopping yesterday and whenced finally able to sit down again needed a lift. This proprietary blend of 59% cab and 41% cab-franc is annually one of my favorite Napa offerings.Deep ruby. Nose of concentrated black fruits, sweet cinnamon, and a dash of vanilla with a tad of earth. Always balanced, the wine has tremendous depth. Silky entry, lish(lush) center and a killer 4&7/8ths lapper finish Still some soft tannins that should resolcve in the next 1-4. 94/97. 52 by the box. 13.5% alc. WW
