Thursday, August 4, 2011 - 2001 California Cabernet Retrospective (South Haven, Michigan): Otis brought this wine to our Cal Cab retrospective. 3rd time I have had this wine going back to 2004. Not decanted. Dark purple color. Probably the tightest and most tannic of the wines in this lineup and could have used some decanted like the Pride. This had some vegetal and herbal nuances on the nose. Notes of cassis, tar and charcoal. Solid tannins. 91-92+ points.
