The 2001 vintage was spectacular for Cabernet Sauvignon in Paso Robles. An unusually cool summer was followed by a warm, dry fall, allowing for true physiological ripening as the long season progressed into shorter days. This wine was crafted from a single vineyard planted in dense rows with a vertical shoot canopy. The fruit was fully exposed to the sun, resulting in even ripening and intense, fruity flavors. Varietal Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Harvest Date: September 18, 2001. Harvest Brix: 24.2o. Residual Sugar: .32%. Total Acid: .67 grams/100ml. pH: 3.66. . Fermentation Regime: 15 months in neutral oak Finished Alcohol: 13.0% Total Production: 2,100 (12/750 ml) cases

Novella 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon
(over 2 years ago) buddy icon barclay 90/100
Very nice. Medium-bodied with soft and supple tannins, lovely flavors of ripe berries and a hint of pepper. Nice almost coffee flavor in the finish.
