Cabernet Sauvignon – 1999; Draper & Esquin Wine & Spirits; Ukiah, California

If you’re looking for an affordable fine wine to enjoy for a special occasion, then give this cabernet a try.  This well aged and mature wine packs a full bodied, bold, rich, deep flavor.  This wine is very fruit initially, followed by some of the more tannic and tobacco flavored notes. As you let it “aerate” more flavors develop and the bouquet unfolds.  Though there are tannins, they are not overpowering and they add a nice balance to the wine. Definitely worthy of buying more than one bottle to enjoy.
