"Quixote Cabernet 2001"
By James Laube

89 Points

Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Stags' Leap Ranch 2001 , $40

A rich, plush, deeply concentrated and young yet firmly tannic Cabernet that delivers a dense core of earthy currant, blackberry, lead pencil, cedar and tobacco. Finishes with excellent concentration and length. Best from 2007 through 2013. 480 cases made. - J.L.
