New Hip with 97 Jarvis Cabernet

I received a new hip last week so I was off wine for a week while taking pa in meds but doing great and no longer needed pain medication. I sent my wi fe to the cellar for a bottle of Cab and she came back with an orphan bottl e of 1997 Jarvis Napa Cabernet to go with a great meatloaf of grassfed beef and veal. The wine was showing a bit of brick in the color but had an eff usive nose of currants and black fruits. While a lot of mature notes of ced ar and tobacco were present the deep fruit of Napa was still in the forefro nt. Plenty of Napa dust but deep black cherry, blackberry, coffee and mint notes. Long smooth finish. Not bad. A-

Hey, Bill, sorry to hear about the surgery, but glad to hear that it went well. And nice to hear that the wine worked out so well.
