1998 Jones Family Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley (750ml)

"89 out of 100 - Red-ruby. Blackberry, cherry, licorice, lead pencil and a flinty nuance on the nose. Bright and delineated, with good sweetness and thrust for a '98. Distinctive cigar box and tobacco flavors. Finishes firmly tannic, with persistent flavors of iron, tobacco and underbrush. - Stephen Tanzer, vinous.com
