about this wine:
The core of the Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Soda Canyon vineyard, a marvelous hillside site with tightly spaced vines planted in rocky, well-drained soils. The lushly flavored wines from this vineyard provide a rich foundation for the Napa blend.

A very fine effort, the deep ruby/purple-colored 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley reveals a big, resiny, spicy, clove-like bouquet backed up by serious black currant fruit, plenty of toasty oak, and a medium to full-bodied, structured, moderately-tannic finish. By this winerys standards, the tannin is unusually noticeable, but it should soften over the next year or two. The 2001 should drink well for 12-14 years.

The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa blows away its three predecessors. It is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. This opaque ruby/purple-colored effort exhibits a sweet nose of blackberries, cassis, licorice, fennel, and vanilla. It is sweet, seamless, and full-bodied, with everything already fully integrated. It should be opulent and luxuriously fruity when released.
