Wine Details
Price:
$60.00 per bottle
Description:
The 2001 Snowden Cabernet Sauvignon shows all of the classic full, ripe qualities that the Napa Valley offers, refined by the influence of the wines of Bordeaux.
Penetrating aromas begin immediately with a prominent presence of black currant, graphite, hints of red earth and impressively intertwined undertones of espresso from the discerning use of French barrels. Its core of fruit is lacy and balanced while still being expressive, chewy and ripe. The wine is firmly structured on the mid-palate, then glides into a long finish that is accented with coriander, nutmeg and pepper. A knowledgable friend describes this wine as “a top Middleweight boxer who can move and packs a powerful punch.” We recommend decanting for an hour or two before serving. This wine is accessible now but will continue to improve in the bottle for 8 to 12 years.
