2001 Lynch Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley

Created by
Heidi Peterson Barrett

This is our third vintage of Cabernet from our Lynch Knoll vineyards on lower Spring Mountain. This wine combines complex black-red berry fruit with mineral and soil tones balanced with pure cassis. A lovely currant, cedar and tobacco inner core blends richness with subtlety, gently rolling in the mouth from flavor to flavor. This lush Cabernet opens to reveal flavors of licorice, black currant and mint and possesses a stunning overall balance, an understated yet evident acidity, integrated with a long finish.

Brilliant ruby red hue. Black currant, plum, licorice and oak aromas. Medium-full with very good concentration, this is ripe and plush with youthful tannins and nicely integrated oak. A few years of aging will bring out further complexities. (Beverage Testing Insitute- Tastings.com)
