1998 Artesa Napa Cabernet Sauvignon

[Drew]

Popped this tonight for the first dinner in OC with filet mignon, twice baked potatoes with smoked gouda cheese and a killer salad.
Very slightly bricking with very floral nose of black and red berry, violets, white chocolate and a hint of vanilla. More red berry than black berry flavors, caramel, white chocolate and a hint of asian spice. No tannins present and at TTOIG. Wonderful with the filet as well as the salad with raspberry dressing. A great start to a well deserved? vacation. 14.2% Alc/vol. and don't remember buying this bottle. [img]http://wines.com/ubb/redface.gif[/img]
