G7 |  (901 page views) | | | - N.V. Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée - France, Champagne
Crisp, nutty, doughy, chestnuts. Elegant long finish. Hitting on all cylinders tonight. Best non-vintage Krug I have ever tasted. (95 pts.)
- 1997 Hanzell Chardonnay - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Valley
Dark golden in color. Caramel nose. Oaky!!! Little bitterness on the finish. Alcoholic. Everything I hate about California Chardonnay. (85 pts.)
- 1997 Abreu Cabernet Sauvignon Madrona Ranch - USA, California, Napa Valley
Corked (FLAWED)
- 1997 Araujo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard - USA, California, Napa Valley
Nose of chalky cherry fruit. Very tannic at first but after a few hours it became bearable. Not showing very much fruit. Nice finish. Needs some more time IMO. (94 pts.)
- 1997 Bryant Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon - USA, California, Napa Valley
Blackberry fruit nose. Tastes of dusty dried fruit. Soft with a nice finish. A bit of a disappointment for me. Much better last time I had it. Off bottle? (92 pts.)
- 1997 Colgin Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb - USA, California, Napa Valley
Wow. Beautiful nose of raspberries. Fresh and lively in the glass. Much more alive than the first three '97s. Knockout, powerful cherry finish that goes on and on. (97 pts.)
- 1997 Grace Family Cabernet Sauvignon - USA, California, Napa Valley, St. Helena
From a rare etched 1L bottle (433 produced). I liked this more than others. Earthy dark blackberry fruit nose. A bit monolithic. Strong finish. (93 pts.)
- 1997 Harlan Estate - USA, California, Napa Valley
Strong VA on the nose and on the palate. Caramel, orange and blackberry. Short finish. A little medicinal. What a monumental disappointment. Too bad. 100 points...are you kidding me? (87 pts.)
- 1997 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon - USA, California, Napa Valley, Oakville
Deep caramel, blackberry and blueberry nose. Rich, lively wine. A 30 second finish. Very elegant. Beautiful wine. My personal WOTN. Easily lives up to all of the hype. A special thanks to Jeff for sharing this gem. (99 pts.)
- 1997 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select - USA, California, Napa Valley, Stags Leap District
Dark blackcurrant fruit. Spicy and rich finish. Hillside always performs. Fantastic wine. (96 pts.)
- 1997 Whitehall Lane Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve - USA, California, Napa Valley
Great wine. Everytime I have this I think why don't I buy more of this? Holds it's own against any of the great '97 cults. (97 pts.)
