Arrowood Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

As a general rule, we eschew the herbaceous qualities that Cabernet Sauvignon can sometimes develop and focus more on up-front fruit and flavor intensity. The result is a more aromatic and forward wine, with rich, sweet black fruit flavors of cassis and blackberry. An earthy, dusty nuance adds complexity to the nose, and toasty oak and spice flavors linger in the balanced finish. Of particular note is the incredibly rich middle of our Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon: concentrated, fleshy and unctuous, complemented by elegant aromatic components and softness.
