2001 Salvestrin Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Vineyard Napa Valley

Driven by ripe fruit and lots of creamy oak, this attractive wine is amply endowed from first sniff to complex aftertaste. Its supple mouthfeel and proper spine of firming tannins lend both grip and a slight puckery edge that call out for four to seven years of patient cellaring before sending the wine into action alongside sturdy cuts of beef or lamb.
