Description:
The wine critics are calling the 2001 vintage one of the very best, a 96 pointer out of 100. And, make no mistake, we agree that our 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon is worthy of such praise. The wine is generous, full and rich on the palate---a very elegant, seductive and feminine wine with a very long smooth finish. The aroma is of crushed violets, blackberries and black currants with an overall palate of deep dark fruit. Please remember that our Cabernet Sauvignons are unfiltered and unfined and will throw sediment with extended aging.

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Sauvignon:
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted and significant among the five dominant varieties in France’s Bordeaux region, as well as the most successful red wine produced in California. Though it was thought to be an ancient variety, recent genetic studies at U.C. Davis have determined that Cabernet Sauvignon is actually the hybrid offspring of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Sauvignon berries are small with black, thick and very tough skin. This toughness makes the grapes fairly resistant to disease and spoilage and able to withstand some autumn rains with little or no damage. It is a mid to late season ripener. These growth characteristics, along with its flavor appeal have made Cabernet Sauvignon one of the most popular red wine varieties worldwide.
