1997 Kunde Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting notes: Bold and flavorful, the 1997 Kunde Cabernet Sauvignon unfolds with generous cherry and blackberry fruit accented by delicious hints of licorice and spice.� Barrel aging for 16 months in French and American oak barrels adds a rich background of vanilla and oak nuances while enhancing the complex flavor profile of this deep, full-bodied wine.
Our notes:� The Kunde Cab embodies everything a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon should be.� It is full of flavor and complexity that can be enjoyed by all wine drinkers.� What's even better, is this wine is affordable.� Seldom can such a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon be found for under $20, but this is one of them.� Next time you're looking for a nice Cab to experiment with, give this one a try.� We're sure you'll like it.

1993 Kenwood Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting notes: This Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant, intensely concentrated wine with vibrant blackberry and black cherry fruit flavors.� This wine exhibits rich, deep color, and aromas of mint, cedar, pepper and cassis.
Our notes: Not only is the 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon exceptional, but so are all of the Artist Series Cabs from Kenwood.� They have been making this wine since the 70s, and they have perfected it.� Not only is this a fantastic Cabernet Sauvignon, but the bottles are collector's items.� Each year they receive submissions from artists to be the next label.� Every year has a unique, one-of-a-kind label.� It is a great honor to be chosen as the label artist for this series.� This wine is a bit spendy, but well worth the investment.� If you are able to find any year at your liquor store, I recommend picking one up and putting it in your cellar.� We have recently opened our 92 and 93, and they were superb.�
