Dark ruby red, with some slight browning. A spectacular wine with a perfumed nose of purple flowers and fresh persimmons. Tasted like a sophisticated cherry cola, with layers of dark chocolate and blackberries. Yum.

02' Keenan Reserve Cabernet. After popping my 01 Silverado reserve a few days ago... I started thinking about what cabernets I consumed 5-10-15 years ago. I remembered how much I loved these wines at the time.

I thought this could possibly be a pop and pour wine. Very little on the nose when I originally popped it. The tannins needed to soften up a little bit. After 15 minutes, started to open up. I also remembered how much I loved that smokiness & soft elegant black fruit. Violets...I couldn't forget that long and inviting finish.
Drink them up!

Had this at the PNV Retrospective Tasting @ CIA Greystone, and it was one of the best from the 2003-2009 category. Great red and black fruit, spice, violets, and earth. Impressive length and balance.
