2001 Ardente "Grande Reserve" Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon

92 Points from Robert Parker: "A stunningly brilliant Napa Cabernet that can be drunk now or cellared for another decade or more, Ardente’s dense plum/purple-hued 2001 offers up sweet notes of chocolate, cassis and espresso roast along with supple tannins, full body and a fleshy, concentrated style. This blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Merlot possesses 14.4% natural alcohol. Drink it over the next 12+ years." (5/1/2011)
