According to Robert Parker: "The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve may be in an awkward, closed stage, but it shows good promise. Its deep ruby color is accompanied by aromas of underbrush, spicy oak, and black currants. Medium to full body, with plum, licorice, spice, and black currant flavors, this elegant Cabernet should be at its finest between 2006-2012." (02/05)
