The saturated ruby/purple-colored 2001 The David (like the 2000, a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and 26% Cabernet Franc) offers up a sweet bouquet of espresso beans, chocolate, blackberries, currants, and spice box. It is a deep, rich, medium to full-bodied effort with as much potential as the 2000, and perhaps more persistence.
This wine is made under the auspices of famed winemaker/rodeo star/part-time cowboy, Nils Venge.
