| Vintage: | 2001 |
| Varietal: | Cabernet Sauvignon |
| Appellation: | Napa Valley |
| Alcohol %: | 13.9 |
| Tasting Notes: | Deep dark ruby in color, the aromas reflect classic Rutherford notes of black cherry and currant, with licorice, loam and dried herb components. The wine is medium- to full-bodied with layered flavors of dark berries, currants, cherries, slate, anise and vanilla. Balanced and structured for 10-20 years of cellar age, the young wine pairs well with roast beef and leg of lamb. |
| Ratings: | 93 Points - Wine Enthusiast - October 15, 2004 Classic Georges, balanced and ageworthy, yet riper and lusher than any Private Reserve in memory. Magnificently ripe fruit, rich in currants and cocoa, well-oaked, with ripe, supple tannins. ...the equilibrium is its strong point. Drink now - 2015. |
