2001 Pride Cabernet Sauvignon
(USA / California / Napa / Spring Mountain District )

I'm never taking this to a tasting again...Instead I'm keeping it all for myself! The 2001 Atlanta WC Cab tasting was held at Cabernet in Alpharetta, GA, last night with 24 WCer's and guests. We had the Pride Cab second on the evening, so our palates weren't completely blown out yet.
The aromas were full and rich, the color was deep purple/red, almost black. This Cab really needed alot more time to open up, as the tannins were high and it was tightly wound around its core of deep berry and black fruit flavors, however, the extraction was deep...there are complex flavors here that never came to the surface due to the limited supply. Hints of baker's chocolate and tobacco hit near the back of my tongue as the finish was long and full. Currently, the 1999 Pride Cab is my favorite, but by the time I'm done with it, the 2001 is sure to take its place. This wine should age superbly into the next decade...I'd wait before opening, but if you can't resist, give it a couple hours of airtime first.
