The score for 1997 Cain Vineyard Winery Concept Valley is 89 from Wine Enthusiast and the tasting note - A mix of Cabernet, Cab Franc and Syrah, this out-of-the-ordinary blend is a little funky and meaty, but still offers lots of juicy black fruit and a whole lot of toasted oak. If any one thing announces itself here it's the wood, which keeps everything austere and maybe a touch overcharred.
