Score 92/100 · Drink 2011-2023, Robert Parker, May 2011
Bigger and richer with greater long term potential, the still youthful, dense ruby/purple-tinged 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is composed of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and the rest Malbec and Petit Verdot (14.2% alcohol). It exhibits plenty of cedary black currant notes intermixed with tobacco leaf, incense, licorice and subtle smoky oak in a full-bodied, fleshy, concentrated style. There are some noticeable tannins, but the wine is drinking beautifully, and should keep for another 10-12 years. Tel. (877) 478-5326
