Sare, I think this is a crock of shit:

1987 Cabernet Sauvignon, Rhinefarm Vineyard
Retail Price: $50.00
This is the granddaddy of this year's offerings. I for one did not witness the harvest of 1987. But I can tell you this wine was one of the most underrated of the decade, and more often than not outshined the more renowned 85 and 86 vintages in terms of balance, fruit intensity and vineyard expression. Now in its 15th year, think ruby red color, and a nose of wet peat moss covered earth. As for the mouthfeel, I say night dark, semi-sweet, coffee flaked chocolate, infused by only slightly sweet, aged plums and raspberries. The integration of the fruit and tannins are downright dazzling.

I doubt that American reds are good for 17 years.....
