Sunday Brown Bag Tasting: 2001 CA cabs (Mike & Judi's): Opens with an odd sauerkraut/cabbage aroma- others said sour apple, but those qualities blew off leaving apple and citrus notes. Good weight and texture across the palate. Dominant apple and citrus notes through the finish.

Beautiful nose remeniscent of lemon rind and fresh crisp Washington state apples, and a faint hint of caramel. This is gorgeous and the palate unfolds very precisely, starts with some lemon and a hint of orange peel, and moves into pear and apple flavors with an underlying hint of well integrated oak. Medium body with great texture, this just keeps going as the fruit is balanced against brisk acidity.

Spicy Apple and pears on the nose. Palate is toasty with anise flavors. Very nice texture and very fresh.
