ROBERT PARKER RATING: 96
ROBERT PARKER REVIEW: A fabulous effort, the opaque purple-hued 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Speciale is a 1,600-case cuvee that spent 32 months in oak. One of the finest Cabernets of the vintage, it, along with Peter Michael’s Les Pavots, is one of the best Cabernets produced in Sonoma County. An extraordinary nose of creme de cassis, cedar, flowers, and toast emerges from this unctuously-textured, full-bodied effort. With sweet tannin, magnificent concentration, abundant notes of cassis, wood smoke, and licorice, and a long, 60-second finish, this monumental 2001 should be at its peak between 2008-2022.
Rich, enticing and complex from the first swirl, this wine opens with aromatics of black cherry, black berry, toast, and crème de cassis. These notes gracefully introduce the palate with a harmonious blend of plump berry fruits, notes of cedar, and well integrated tannins on the long, lingering finish.
