Winemakers Comments
The 1996 harvest came very early, and the Cabernet crop
was very small, which resulted in deep rich flavors in
the fruit, and thus the wine. As usual, we blended Cabernet
Franc and Merlot into this Cabernet Sauvignon. These grapes
add a breadth and complexity to the final wine which their
similarity to Cabernet Sauvignon maintains a consistent
and harmonious character. This vintage, like all our Cabernets,
will improve for many years if properly stored.
