Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley Wine Details
Price: $80.00 per bottle

Description: 2001 will go down in California history as a classic Cab vintage in Napa along with 1997 and 1999. This is quite possibly the biggest “tannic monster” we have ever produced! Owing to the lighter crop set and earlier harvest the vines had no problem packing everything they could into these grapes, making the wine into a stack of complex richness. Deep red-violet color unfolds to black cherry, violet, cedar, tar and dark chocolate notes in the aroma. The wine flavors include palates of Bing cherry, violets and chewy tannins. The finish of the wine is sturdy and mouth filling. Due to length and richness of the flavors, we expect this complex wine to age for many years! Open a bottle, relax and enjoy life!
