Note di degustazione
Good dark red. Subdued, rather loamy aromas of red plum, currant, mocha and tobacco leaf. Fine-grained, supple and vinous, but its moderate fruit sweetness is reduced by menthol and herb character. The wine's substantial broad, dusty tannins turn a bit dry, even peppery, on the back end. But this Cabernet still retains good savory energy, and a subtle sweetness to its red fruit flavors.

An excellent performance by this Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, Barnett’s 2001 exhibits the tell-tale mountain characteristics of deep, dark raspberries, spring flowers and blueberries intermixed with hints of crushed rocks and forest floor. Some firm tannins still exist in this 10-year old Cabernet, but the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep, pure and well-balanced. It will not hit its peak for another 3-4 years and it should last for 15-20 years thereafter. Very impressive! Tel. (707) 963-7075; Fax (707) 963-3724
Bright ruby-red. Superripe aromas of blackberry, blueberry and charry oak, with a light weediness. Rather extractive flavors of cassis, blackberry, licorice and oaky torrefaction. Finishes with mouthdusting, somewhat dry tannins. A bit heavyhanded.
