" 94-97 points Robert Parker: "The blockbuster 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (a 650-case blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 1% Malbec) tips the scales at a lofty 15.1% alcohol, but it is neither hot nor heavy. An inky/blue/purple color is followed by sumptuous aromas of espresso roast, melted licorice, fudge, creme de cassis, and blackberries. This low acid, full-bodied 2001 possesses tremendous intensity, a massive palate impression, and no trace of heaviness or heat from its high octane style. The tannin is sweet, but clearly noticeable. Give it 3-4 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following two decades. This is a thrilling offering from true garagists!" (12/03)"
