A spectacular offering from the Monte Rosso Vineyard, the 2001, like the other cuvees, is virtually 100% Cabernet Sauvignon with under 3% Merlot included in the blend. Aged in both French and American oak, it achieved 14.5% natural alcohol and the production was 1,800 cases. An opaque ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of graphite, blueberries, black currants, scorched earth, and a Graves-like character. This deep, full-bodied, broodingly backward Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a sensational finish of nearly 45 seconds, a multidimensional mouthfeel, and 25-30 years of upside remaining. Anticipated Maturity: 2015-2035.

The impressive 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Rosso Vineyard boasts a dense ruby/purple-tinged color as well as a reticent bouquet of vanilla, plums, black currants, and new saddle leather. Medium to full-bodied, with a Bordeaux-like structure and excellent density, elegance, and overall harmony, this powerful Cabernet Sauvignon is not yet revealing its full personality. Give it 3-4 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following 15+. Tel. (707) 963-2736

The 2001 vintage appears to mark a step up in quality for these wines. Lead pencil and dusty berry notes start this wine off, opening to deliver bright cassis flavors and a full-bodied, firmly structured mouthfeel. Long on the finish. Drink 2010–2020.——W.E.(9/1/2005)—— 91
