Parker about Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
Medium to deep garnet-brick in color, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate opens with notes of charcuterie, yeast extract and cedar over a core of red and black currant jelly, tobacco leaf and new leather plus a hint of dried sage. Medium-bodied, it has a firm frame of chewy tannins and plenty of freshness lifting the savory/earthy flavors, finishing long and a bit woody.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
The 2001 Château Montelena is another fascinating creation from this renowned Napa Valley winery. This vintage is particularly notable in the wine world, demonstrating the typical refinement and quality one has come to expect from Château Montelena.
In 2001, Napa Valley experienced a wonderful vintage, and this wine reflects that. It could display an impressive balance of fruitiness, structure, and finesse. In its youth, it could present intense aromas of dark berries like black currants and possibly hints of cassis or blackberries.
The tannins in this wine could be supple and well-integrated, giving it a pleasant drinkability while also retaining some aging potential. Over the years, the 2001 Château Montelena may have gained complexity, allowing its aromas to evolve, perhaps developing subtle notes of spice, tobacco, or even a subtle minerality.
This vintage could have developed into a harmonious and elegant wine that beautifully embodies the characteristic features of Napa Valley and the craftsmanship of Château Montelena.
