Sebastiani Cabernet Sauvignon Cherryblock Old Vine 1996
Sonoma County, California, United StatesA tiny year for Cherryblock with only 1200 cases made. Much more rustic than previous versions with big structure but less finesse than the '94. Inky, black cherry colour with mocha, spicy, peppery, cassis, plum jam flavours. Will need some time to settle down. There is no 1997 Cherryblock.Tasted: 01 March 1999Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $70.00 | 750ml |
