I forgot about this gem. Found it tonight in the cellar and figured it was a goner. I remember that 96 vintage - really rough. Somehow, this bottle has totally smoothed out. All the rough edges were gone and it was a really smooth, classic cali cab. I am really sorry it was my last bottle.

I am partial to the northern Rhones. This one is very smooth with not too much fruit and well balanced. Not a sophistocated wine by any means, but very tasty with the earthy rasberry flavor.
