2001 Bryant Family Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Bottle (750ml)

Robert Parker writes, "In less than a decade this has become one of the qualitative titan/blue blood Cabernet Sauvignons of Napa Valley. The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (1,200 cases), produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, is a virtually perfect effort, rivaling both the 1997 and 1994. Its inky blue/black/purple color is followed by a phenomenally pure bouquet of blackberry liqueur intermixed with minerals, licorice, and toast. The wine is fabulously concentrated, with that seamless characteristic found in the greatest wines, the building blocks of this Cabernet, acid, alcohol, and tannin, are interwoven into a majestic, multidimensional, compelling wine of extraordinary richness, length, and aromatic splendor. This is a New World legend in the making. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2030." BT 97-100Pts Published: Aug 30, 2002
