1987 Mayacamas Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

The 1987 Cabernet Sauvignon impresses for its persistence and exceptional balance. A focused, brilliant wine, the 1987 is floral, perfumed and quite pretty. Compared to some of the other wines in this tasting the 1987 comes across as a bit compact and not fully expressive, which is amazing for a wine of its age. Dark stone fruits, flowers and spices linger on the close.
