Clos Pegase Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2001 750mL

In the glass, our estate-bottled Cabernet Sauvignon reflects an opaque dark purple core. As the aromatics waft towards the nose, they deliver generous layers of cassis, antique wood, cigar box and black currant. On the palate, brooding dark fruits give way to briar, black currant and forest floor, with more subtle notes of graphite, wet clay and seasoned leather. The tannins are nicely balanced by the lush fruits which are kept fresh by the crisp acidity. This Cabernet Sauvignon continues to evolve on the palate, showing depth and complexity with a lengthy finish.

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast, January 2005. "So ripe, it's gooey in currant, cocoa and cassis flavors that have been lavishly oaked. This is a soft, smooth wine, with velvety tannins, and has enough complexity and nuance to merit its score."
