Clark Claudon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - 1998 (3L)

An opaque purple color is accompanied by a fabulous bouquet of blackberries, blueberries, and cassis intermixed with camphor and new wood. This beautifully balanced, rich, full-bodied Cabernet is a model of symmetry and purity. Clark-Claudon has proven that even in what is considered an off year, amazing wines can be produced. This seamless classic can be drunk now or cellared for another 15+ years.
