Description:
93 points, Wine Spectator, September 30th, 2004. In 2001 the harvest for the Elerding Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon began in late September. From vineyard to barrel this wine was perfectly mature and stood out as a wine that would not need blending to show off. This has always been the basis for Matthew's decision as to whether or not a wine will be considered for a "Reserve" designation. As with past Reserve vintages (the most recent being the 1999) this wine is huge in the nose and may even be understated when comparing aromatics with what the flavor offers. Aged in 100% new Tonnelerie Saury French oak barrels for 22 months, the wine was lightly fined with egg whites and bottled in the first part of August 2003. As the wine ages in the bottle, we feel that this will be the most long-lived Elerding Cabernet that Matthews has produced to date!
