A dark, potent wine, the 2001 Kenwood Cabernet Sauvignon Artist Series is packed with black fruit, gravel, incense, lavender, black olive, sage and tobacco. It’s a wine made in the style of the time, which is to say, with quite a bit of extraction and oak impact. Even so, the 2001 has aged impeccably, far better than many of the 2001 Napa Valley Cabernets I tasted in 2021 for a 20-year report on that vintage. Moreover, the 2001 Artist Series has none of the Brett issues that afflict so many other wines from Napa in that era. It’s an absolute treat to drink this from an impeccably sourced bottle. (AG)

Notes

After more than two decades in the limelight, Kenwood Vineyards' highly-acclaimed Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon reigns as a premier marriage of fine art and fine wine. Kenwood's goal for combining its finest Cabernet Sauvignon with the work of contemporary artists was to create an elegant, easily identifiable package, while promoting beautiful artwork at the same time. The grapes used to craft each "Artist Series" release are as carefully selected as the artwork that will grace the bottle. Each year, Winemaker Pat Henderson selects the finest small lots of Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and skillfully blends them to produce this Kenwood classic.
