The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon West Block emerges from the westernmost block of Beaulieu Vineyards' BV #10. This potent Rutherford Cabernet packs a serious punch. At 20 years of age, it is just entering its plateau of maturity. Sweet tobacco, cedar, spice and dried flowers lend quite a bit of aromatic nuance. The 2001 is mature, but it has the depth to drink well for another 5-10 years. This is a very strong showing.
