It is undeniable - the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon blows away its siblings. The winery's flagship offering, it spends 22 months in French oak, of which 50% is new, and includes a small percentage of Merlot (5-6%) in the blend. A terrific Margaret River Cabernet, it boasts a dense ruby/purple color as well as a big bouquet of creme de cassis intermixed with licorice, vanilla, and spice box. Medium to full-bodied, layered, but subtle, it will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age, and keep for over a decade.

Deep ruby. Expressive aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, spice cake, molasses, Cuban tobacco, anise and loamy earth, accented by exotic oak spices. Firm, structured and deep, showing flavors of spicy cherry, kirsch, clove and cinnamon. This really benefited from aeration, showing a rich, broad, suave texture and finishing with ample but ripe tannins and lingering licorice and pepper.
