Duckhorn Vineyards 2001 Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 6 liter RP 91

The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is also just beginning to strut its stuff at age ten. Smooth tannins, a dense purple color and copious quantities of cedarwood, creme de cassis, licorice and lead pencil shavings are found in this full-bodied, concentrated wine along with impressive purity, a smoky earthiness and a long finish. Drink Date: 2011 - 2026

With nine separate offerings, all performing exceptionally well, Duckhorn Vineyards must be thrilled with the evolution of their 2001s. This is a terrific performance for these Duckhorn wines with most of them showing better than they did upon release – always a great sign.
