PRIDE MOUNTAIN VINEYARDS CABERNET SAUVIGNON RESERVE 2001

Napa Valley, California.

Remarkably, the 2001 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon may be even better. Staggeringly pure notes of creme de cassis, violets, licorice and graphite soar from the glass of this inky/purple-colored wine. Composed of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot, and tasting like it is 2-3 years old, it is a stunningly pure, rich, full-bodied, prodigious example of high elevation mountain Cabernet Sauvignon that will not reach full maturity for another 5-7 years, and should age beautifully for another two decades or more. It is a magical wine to smell, taste and contemplate. May 2011 Drink to 2036 WA 98+

2 bts.    per lot $600 - $800

Realised: $700
