9% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot (which is one percent different than the barrel sample blends that were presented)

This is an outstanding grand cru but perhaps it will be pipped by Clos Saint Denis this year

Chateau Montelena's 1985 remains frightfully backward at nearly ten years of age

It’s right up there with their brilliant 2005

Duckhorn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon - 2001 (750ml) 2018 Wine Advocate - 90 pointsThe least expensive Cabernet Sauvignon is the outstanding 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (which I assume was made from purchased fruit). It offers abundant aromas of white chocolate, black currants, loamy soil and hints of spice and earth. This textured, broad, simple Cabernet should continue to offer delicious, seductive drinking over the next decade. Robert Parker 90 points
