The exceptional 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah (70% of the former and 30% of the latter) was aged 18 months in cask. Its dense purple color is followed by sumptuous aromas of camphor interwoven with creme de cassis, cedar, and spice box. Dense, medium to full-bodied, and ripe, it’s a hedonistic as well as intellectual turn-on. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel. (202) 832-9083
