The gorgeous 2001 Estate Cuvee (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Petit Verdot, and 20% Syrah) tips the scales at 15.8% alcohol. Its deep purple color is followed by a striking bouquet of creme de cassis, licorice, melted asphalt, and spice box. An original, distinctive, impressively made, and creatively blended, it is deep, layered, full-bodied, and offers a classic display of structure as well as fruit. Give it 2-3 years of bottle age, and drink it over the following 10-15 years. Tel. (805) 227-1588
