Staglin 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Staglin / Rutherford

A youthful, exciting wine that offers plenty of earth and cassis. It seems tight and closed now, with packed in tannins, a condensed mouthfeel and some mild green pepper notes on the tail end. Definitely a wine for the cellar. Give it some time and it should open up its wings.
