Wine Advocate
The finest effort yet produced, the 2001 J. Daniel Cuvee is a 1,000 case, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon offering. Complex notes of lead pencil shavings, black currants, licorice, and vanilla cascade from the glass of this opaque ruby/purple-colored wine. Structured, medium-bodied, moderately tannic, and oh, so pure and layered, this beauty will be at its finest between 2006-2015.
Score: 93. —Robert Parker, December 2003.
