Much better than my first bottle, this is what I expected when I bought them.

Feb 23rd, 2021Great cork for 19 years,
I think the 27% Merlot brings the score down for me. 2002 Jones & 97 ZD reserve are a step above at half the price,
One of the flagship wines of the late Jess Jackson’s Artisans and Estates limited production offerings is the 2001 Cardinale, a blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot from some of the finest Jackson-owned vineyards on Mt. Veeder, Keyes on Howell Mountain, Alexander Mountain Estate as well as purchased fruit from the Stagecoach, To-Kalon and Peter Michael vineyards.

Incredible nose and so silky. This is really firing on all cylinders but so much time left. Probably the best showing of this vintage for me. The perfect bottle to end our family vacation

Soooo tasty! Haven't had this bottle for 2 years. Still a ton of primary fruit but with a lot of well integrated spice notes. And a finish that I stopped counting after 2 minutes....
