My regular Albany group met to taste 2001 California Cabernet and Cabernet blends. The one ringer was a 2000 Ch. Certan de May, which was my #2 wine and the group's #3.

This is a very good vintage and most of these wines are still too young.

Big smoky black fruit nose. Still tannic with tart bright red fruit. Good length. Sweet and juicy. Appealing. 92-93
