1997 David Arthur Vineyards Cabernet

Tasting Notes

The 1997 David Arthur Cabernet opens with captivating aromas of currant, black cherry, and subtle herbal notes, layered with cedar and a distinctive minerality[1][3]. On the palate, it is rich and focused, displaying excellent concentration and a hint of sweetness balanced by bright acidity[3]. Flavors of cassis, vanilla, and tobacco unfold alongside silky tannins, leading to a polished, lingering finish with chalky, mineral-driven edges[1][2]. The wine’s texture is both fleshy and refined, offering a harmonious blend of fruit, earth, and oak that continues to evolve in the glass.
