90 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
August 2002
The 2001 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignons reveals a saturated ruby/purple color in addition to a lusty, sweet perfume of cassis, spice box, licorice, and lavender. The wine is ripe and medium to full-bodied, with low acidity, abundant glycerin, wood, and alcohol, and admirable texture as well as length...

...Exotic American oak tones of bourbon, coconut and cocoa butter dominate the nose. Then fat, lush, suave and dry, with no excess weight. Impressive more for its mid-palate texture than its fruit.

About the Wine
"The 2000 growing season will be remembered for the harvest that wouldn’t end. A mild spring induced even flowering and a good set. By mid-September it had warmed up and harvest was in full swing. Then the weather shifted radically and the end of September was unseasonably cool. Extra time on the vine was beneficial for wine quality and harvest was finally completed on November 1st, the longest in our 29 year history.
Winemaker’s Tasting Notes: The 2000 Alexander Valley is a classic, rich Cabernet Sauvignon with a ruby-red color and an expressive nose of cassis, blueberries, blackberries, soy sauce and vanilla. It is luscious and full-bodied on the palate and has an incredibly long finish of ripe berry fruit, vanilla and a hint of dill. This wine will continue to improve until 2018 given proper cellaring. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon"
