Ravenswood 2001 Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon
2001 Ravenswood Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma
County,
The Ravenswood Cabernet Sauvignon is made to be aged. The wine is fermented
for three to four weeks on the skins, allowing them to macerate even after
the cap has sunk a treatment that produces a lean, intense,
well-structured, wine. The somewhat austere Cabernet is softened with Merlot
and brightened with Cabernet Franc; up to two years in French oak adds a
smoky, vanilla character. The resulting blend, which in some years is rather
slow to develop, is always flavorful and complex, with an aromatic, spicy,
brambly, mint quality and a slightly astringent finish. It will develop
elegant bottle bouquet and aroma with eight to ten years of aging. It offers
an incredible value for a top flight Cabernet.
