Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $48.00 per bottle

Description: The release of our third vintage, Parry Cellars 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon, is like visiting our home in St. Helena. In one sip, you feel the warm sunshine on the grapes, smell the aroma of harvest and savor the elegance of ripe fruit. This year?s harvest produced another elegant, well-balanced cabernet with loads of fruit and soft, silky tannins. The wine has an intense deep garnet color and aromas of lush boysenberry, blueberry, and pomegranate with softer layers of cedar, smoke, currant and nutmeg. On the mouth, you are greeted with a soft, sweet velvety entry leading into a weighty mid-palate filled with juicy berry flavors. The long, lingering finish is filled with ripe cassis and berries. The wine was aged 18 months in new French (38%), American (12%) and Hungarian (12%) and once used French (38%) oak barrels before being bottled without fining or filtration. We are sure you will enjoy this wine now or after bottle aging for a few years.
