Davis Family Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Davis Family Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

My first experience with this wine but I will seek it out again. Medium-full bodied, dark garnet color, firm and structured but nicely balanced and polished, aromas and full forward flavors of blackberry, red and black currants,  dark plum, spice, mocha with a layer of cedar and toasty soft oak on a lingering tight tannin finish. Lots of life left in this ten year old.

RM 91 points.

Great accompaniment to cheese crusted baked eggplant parmiagan and grilled flank steak.
