2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Padthaway

The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve exhibits an inky saturated purple color as well as a glorious perfume of melted chocolate, creme de cassis, cedar, and espresso. Terrific texture, low acidity, and ripe, well-integrated tannin give the overall impression of a seamless, opulent wine destined to be drunk young, yet capable of lasting 7-10 years.
