Country: US / Moon Mountain Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Carmenet / Sonoma Valley
Score one for Sonoma Valley and this winery, as the ’97 exceeds previous efforts. Lots of enticing deep-berry aromas touched up with leather, dill, and an array of other spices and herbs, even oregano. It’s one of those rock-solid winners where the whole is more profound than the parts.
