Reviewed June 2011
A brilliant effort from Mondavi, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and the rest Malbec and Petit Verdot) exhibits complex aromatics of forest floor, sweet black cherry and black currant fruit, vanillin and lead pencil shavings. (RP)

Contains 67% To Kalon Vineyard fruit. Still a baby. Closed, brooding, very deep, very dry. Fabulous cassis fruit, a huge wine. Lots of delicious, sweet new oak. Superbly balanced, impressive. *Cellar Selection*

Bright dark red with ruby highlights. Aromas of black cherry, cassis and graphite minerality, plus hints of Band-Aid and leather. Broad, dark and powerful on entry, then a bit sauvage and brooding in the middle palate, showing a touch of leathery/gamey rusticity to its black fruit, licorice, menthol and mineral flavors. As much savory as sweet, this dense, powerful, still-youthful wine boasts excellent density, depth and inner-mouth lift. Serious ripe, dusty tannins spread out to saturate the tongue, teeth and cheeks. Quite powerful in a Left Bank way - and probably not best suited for the faint of heart. (ST)

Excellent, showing tannic flex, with cedary cigar box notes amid a strong array of dark berry flavors. (JL, Web-2016)

Notes

92 points from Neal Martin for Wine Advocate: "This has a backward blackberry, blackcurrant wine gums, blueberry and a hint of iodine. Good definition. The palate is medium-bodied, very sleek and velvety on the entry, polished, lots of new oak and despite its age, feels as if there is still some “puppy fat” to be subsumed. The finish has great purity and a little more panache that the entry, although there is a touch of alcohol on the back-palate. I find this has more definition and complexity than the To-Kalon ’01. Ravishing and delightful." (06/2009)
