| 1998 CABERNET SAUVIGNON: |
 |
| OAKVILLE, NAPA VALLEY |
|
Tasting Notes:
The wines of Kelham Vineyards reflect the unique character of the soils and localized climate that has made Oakville one of the most acclaimed appellations in the world for Bordeaux varieties. The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent example of richness, depth and concentration. The use of new and used French oak creates complexity without overwhelming the varietal character or terroir. This Cabernet blend has layers of complex currant, mineral, plum, vanilla and tobacco. Medium-to-full-bodied in character, the wine displays layered mid-palate, integrated tannin, and a lengthy finish. |
