RENAISSANCE VINEYARDS CABERNET SAUVIGNON 1997 1.5L

“A blend of 79% cabernet sauvignon, 15 % merlot and 6% cabernet franc, the wine aged 27 months in American, French and German oak barrels. It was bottled in March, 2000 and released in September 2010. This Renaissance Premier Cuvee 1997 features towering (but not astringent) tannins; stunning (but not sharp) acidity; forceful (but not overwhelming) granitic and graphite-like mineral elements; and glimmers of ripe, fleshy, spicy and slightly roasted flavors of red and black currants and mulberries. For all this and despite its forthright rigorous character, the wine feels fresh and invigorating”
