The black/purple-colored 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot) exhibits a peppery, cedary, spicy-scented bouquet as well as abundant cassis fruit. While not as succulent as the Merlot, it offers authentic Cabernet flavors. It should drink well for 10-12 years. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
