Both La Mission-Haut-Brion and Haut-Brion hit home runs in this vintage
With medium to full body as well as more depth than many of its peers
a seamless texture
and wild blueberry among the array of scents leaping from the glass
Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - 1996 (750ml) Size:750ml Both La Mission-Haut-Brion and Haut-BrionThe 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, . 5% Merlot, and 1. 5% Petit Verdot) has a dark ruby plum color and a gorgeous, complex nose of cedar, spice box, cherries, jammy plums and cassis. The wine is fleshy, medium to full bodied, seductive, and filled with glycerin. The finish is all silk. This low acid, big, spicy, lavishly wooded, chewy wine should drink well for another 10 14 years. Robert Parker 91 points
