點擊次數(shù)：5118

Smoky and bacony upfront, with subtle blackberry, cassis and herb flavors on the follow-up. Moderate body is framed by powdery tannins; however, that may or may not round off in time. On the whole, a very good wine, though the finish is a bit herbal.——J.M.(12/1/2001)—— 87

The saturated dense ruby/purple-colored 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Brenda Block reveals abundant, toasty vanillin (from 18 months in French oak and 2 months in new American oak) aromas, along with classic tobacco and black currant scents. Moderate tannin, delicious fruit, and nicely integrated acidity as well as new oak frame this medium to full-bodied, impressively-made Cabernet Sauvignon. It will benefit from 1-2 years of bottle age, and will drink well for the following 10-12 years. Tel. (707) 431-7644
