| Cabernet worth loving! J. Lohr's Carol's Vineyard 2001
Cabernet Sauvignon is such a wine. The wine shows a dark
ruby core fading to a violet/purple rim. Aromas of
blackberry and black currants mix delightfully with
chocolate, cigar box, spice, toast and even some cooked
beets. The wine has a rich body and powerful intensity when
lavished upon the palate providing almost an ethereal
complexity. Silky tannins are well integrated helping to
provide an austere structure that shows a harmonious
balance. Enjoy the lingering finish because it likes to
lounge around. Yes, there is still plenty of time left to
enjoy this vintage. Very distinguished overall - kudos! |
