- ($66) Good red-ruby. Black cherry, flowers, eucalyptus and tar on the nose. Fatter and lusher than the 2003, with supple flavors of red cherry and mint. Offers a restrained sweetness but only moderate complexity and texture. Some green notes emerge with aeration. (According to winemaker Gary Brookman, the 2001 Blank cabernet, the first crop from this vineyard just north of Caymus, ultimately proved to be thin and dominated by eucalyptus during its final months of elevage, and was sold off in bulk.)
