RATINGS

95Robert M. Parker Jr.

...floral and blueberry characteristics are found in this intense, medium-bodied 2001 along with extraordinary elegance and palate presence.

91Wine Spectator

Spicy, toasty, mocha-scented oak plays a strong role in this richly flavored wine, built around ripe plum, blueberry and wild berry flavors. Finishes with a sense of elegance and lift.

91Stephen Tanzer

Sappy, fruit-driven aromas of blackberry, cassis and espresso, lifted by a violet element. Rich, supple and sweet, with lush but lively flavors of cassis and dark chocolate. Finishes with sweet, broad tannins and excellent length.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Franc

This is a parent grape to Cabernet Sauvignon. It most likely originates from Basque country. It is an excellent blending grape, known for making the exquisite Cheval-Blanc. Franc is a little hardier on a vine than Sauvignon, but drinks smoothly at the table.
