Ch. Ste. Michelle 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon

"This Cabernet Sauvignon always scores high on the value to price index, and the 2001 vintage is one of the best in recent memory. Sweet wood, clove and cassis aromas introduce the dark, ripe stone and berry fruit flavors. Complex notes of toasty oak and vanilla meld with supple tannins to give this cabernet a long and graceful finish. Great with food or on its own, this Cabernet Sauvignon is simply delicious."

Nepenthe 2000 The Fugue (Cabernet/Merlot/Cab Franc)

"Always a classic Bordeaux style blend from Australia, this vintage (from a warm year) hits a home run. Pure fruit, great balance, and complexity equals amazing value. The main characters present in this wine are violets, red berries and earthy notes. The fruit is the dominant feature, with hints—the way it should be—of tar and coffee from the predominantly French oak in which the wines spent their adolescence. The palate is youthful and firm, with even tannins that start early and persist right through the lingering savoury finish. This evenness is something that we actively pursue, and which we associate with genuinely ripe cool-climate fruit."
