The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a gorgeous wine of its era, when winemaking was under the direction of Bob Foley. Black cherry, chocolate, licorice, tobacco, cedar, torrefaction and toasted oak literally explode from this powerhouse Cabernet. All things considered, the 2001 has aged very well. Personally, I would have preferred to drink this a few years ago, when there was certainly more fruit, but its hard to fault the 2001 too much. It is a very representative wine of 20 years ago in Napa Valley.
