Atalon Cabernet Sauvignon Mountain Estates 1998
Napa Valley, California, United StatesRich spicy vanilla oak nose laced with blackberry. Similar flavours on entry with bright peppery blackberry fruit on the mid-palate and a distinct vanilla cherry finish. Elegant structure but at the moment firm dry tannin dominates the back palate. Look for this wine to improve as it mellows out over the next three to five years.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $83.50 | 750ml | Speculative - Vinterra Wine Merchants |
