Weight: 7R
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Spring Mountain, Napa Valley, California
It is rare indeed that one gets to sample a fully mature Napa Cabernet, as the culture of aging wines for long periods has not caught up with that of the venerable "B's" - Bordeaux, Burgundy, Barolo, Barbaresco, and Brunello. With a fistful of recent tasting notes indicating that the 1988 Spring Mountain Cabernet -- made for the long haul--is nearing its peak, this is an opportunity not to be missed!
