2001 Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemakers Comments

From a well regarded Cabernet vintage in general, in these parts, this wine has the pleasant constituent combination that will allow it to be enjoyed with pleasure when young and also to age well for many years. It should not begin to decline until at least 2020, if well stored, and may live somewhat longer.
