Clark Claudon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon - 1998 (3L) Saint-Aubin The Competition’s Executive Director AnthonyAn 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. Robert Parker 94 points
