1997 Greenock Creek Cabernet Sauvignon

"One of my weekly Cabernet Sauvignons for a number of years was Greenock Creek's 1997. It was released at a very reasonable price, and, again, I did not know what to expect as this estate is not associated with Cabernet Sauvignon as much as Grenache and Shiraz. This 1997 is still a killer wine. Its dark plum/purple color is accompanied by aromas of spice box, cedarwood, sweet licorice, and black currants. Full-bodied, velvety-textured, and gorgeously proportioned, it is a sexy Cabernet Sauvignon that should continue to evolve for 5-10 years." - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 183 (Jun 2009)
