Blackjack Ranch Harmonie 1997

Professional Ratings

• 91 Wine Enthusiast
  From a region not known for Cabernet comes a rich, tantalizing, luscious wine, with lots of cigar box/tobacco aromas and plenty of vibrant black fruit: currants and plums. Proper acidity drives the finish, leaving the mouth fairly refreshed. Has all the structure and balance one could ask for.

  The impressive 1997 Harmonie Proprietary Red Wine (a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Merlot) offers a complex nose of black fruits, roasted coffee, dried herbs, and earth. The wine possesses outstanding ripeness, sweet, rich fruit, firm tannin, a nicely delineated personality, as well as vigor and exuberance.
