Score 96/100 · Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider, Sep 2015

Rich, fat, dense and intense, the wine coats your mouth leaving with a beautiful sensation of black and blue, pure, fresh fruits. It’s hard to find a better aged Cabernet Sauvignon for the money than these mid 1990’s bottles of La Jota! I think this is the last vintage produced with Helen Turley. 96 Points

The sensational black/purple-colored 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon 16th Anniversary Release is closed, but its emerging aromas of charcoal, blackberries, cassis, and minerals are promising. The wine is intense, ripe, with a layered, expansive richness, and exotic notes of Asian spices, beef blood, and assorted black fruits. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2025. Tel.
