Arrowood Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

This wine makes an outstanding first impression, with its vibrant ruby color and distinctive aromas. Forward blackberry flavors stand out against an earthy backdrop of saddle leather, cigar box and cedar. Perfectly balanced with a luscious, velvety mouth feel, mature tannins, formidable structure and long, oak-sweetened finish, this powerful wine promises years of aging potential. It will complement a wide variety of flavorful foods including grilled lamb or beef with wine reduction sauce, wild mushroom risotto and meaty fish such as tuna and swordfish with olive tapanade and preserved lemons.
