Dark golden in color. Caramel nose. Oaky!!! Little bitterness on the finish. Alcoholic. Everything I hate about California Chardonnay.

1997 Araujo Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard 94 Points

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.

1997 Bryant Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 92 Points

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?

1997 Colgin Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb 97 Points

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.

From a rare etched 1L bottle (433 produced). I liked this more than others. Earthy dark blackberry fruit nose. A bit monolithic. Strong finish.

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?

1997 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 99 Points

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.

1997 Whitehall Lane Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 97 Points

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.
