1997
Santa Barbara County, California
Harmonie - Red Blend
$46.99
86% Cabernet Sauvingnon, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Merlot
***Rated 91 Points by Wine Enthusiast:
From a region not known for Cabernet comes a rich, tantalizing, luscious wine,
with lots of cigar box/tobacco aromas and plenty of vibrant black fruit: currants and plums. Proper acidity drives the finish,
leaving the mouth fairly refreshed. Has all the structure and balance one could ask for.
***Rated 86 Points by Wine Spectator:
Smoky black currant and chocolate flavors have good depth and intensity, then turn
slightly rough on the finish.
***Rated 90 Points by Wine Advocate:
"Offers a complex nose of black fruits, roasted coffee, dried
herbs, and earth. The wine possesses outstanding ripeness, sweet, rich fruit, firm tannin, and nicely delineated personality,
as well as vigor and exuberance. Age this wine for another 3-4 years; it should evolve nicely for 15+. This is an impressive
new star in the Santa Barbara firmament."
