Limestone, chalk, and slate compose the vineyards from which the 2001 Moncerbal (185 cases) emerges. It exhibits a deep ruby/purple color, great finesse, and a striking note of minerality along with touches of blueberry, licorice, and earth. Medium-bodied, with crisp acidity and sweet tannin, it should drink well for 10-12 years. Importer: The Rare Wine Co., Sonoma, CA; tel. (707) 996-4484
