1997	Cain Concept, Napa Valley Earthy, barnyardy aromas overwhelm the nose. Do not go away after airing. There are some cabernet fruit, but the earth is too overwhelming. Unbalanced. - so - ws	35-40	**
1996	Voila! Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley Intense cherry, blueberry nose. Sweet and soft plummy flavor. Turning complex and velvety after airing. A bit too ripe now. - so - ws	19.98	***
1997	Villa Mt. Eden Signature Series Cabernet Sauvignon, Mendocino Classic Napa Valley style Cabernet. Cherry, plummy, vanilla oak aromas. Sweet jammy cherry and black currant flavor with a hint of chocolate and dusty texture. Softly astringent, intense on the palate. Full body, powerful, long finish. - so - ws	39.98	*****
