Score 89/100 · Drink 2000-2012, Robert Parker, Aug 2000
The proprietary red wine, the 1997 Salamartano (equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot), is noticeably tannic and backward, as well as internationally-styled. The dark ruby/purple color is followed by moderately intense aromas of black currants, sweet cherries, and spicy new oak. Structured and tannic, it requires 1-2 years of cellaring, and should age well for 10-12 years. Importer: Dominic Nocerino, Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY; tel. (516) 467-5907
