Vine Cliff Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Napa Valley, California, United StatesBased on the quality of its 2000 grapes Vine Cliff decided not to make an Oakville Cabernet and instead made only a softer more approachable Napa Valley edition. Look for dill and caraway seed on the nose mixed with a cherry cola, resiny saddle leather aromas. We like the rich, juicy fruit, upfront flavours and the spicy cassis blackberry cola flavours in the finish. There's a touch of dryness showing through the finish but that should fade by the end of this year.Tasted: 04 January 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
