'97 Hess Select Cabernet Sauvignon

[Drew]

WOW...why didn't I listen to WW earlier?
Dark purple, almost opaque, with an "in your face" nose of mature ripe plum and cassis. Like flavors that are rich with drying tannins on the mid palate but smooth on the long finish. Lovely to look at, smell, and taste, Decanted for 1 hour prior to Filet Mignons, baked spuds and a medley of veggies. Great match and little oak, WITHSTAND members take note. I'm a happy guy all alone this evening, child bride is working tonight, getting ready to smoke cigar #2 in this 88 degree Maryland weather. 13% Alc/vol. $13.
