Bright ruby-red. Claret-like aromas of currant, leather, cedar and shoe polish. Sweet, pliant and inviting, with complex, burnished, Graves-like flavors of currant, leather and meat. Wonderfully plump in the middle but supported by a firm spine. Subtle, deep, layered cabernet that should evolve gracefully.

- One of Forman's finest efforts to date, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon is a seamless classic boasting a dense purple color as well as a big, sweet, fragrant, almost floral nose (there must be a good bit of Cabernet Franc in the blend), medium to full body, and abundant quantities of black currants, licorice, tobacco leaf, and earth. The wood is well-concealed in this layered, multi-dimensional, surprisingly ripe, forward Cabernet. It should drink well for 15-20 years. -Wine Advocate
