2001 Angeli Cuvée
Appellation: Alexander Valley
Owner/Winemaker: Chris Bilbro
Released March 1, 2005
The 2001 Angeli Cuvee may well be
one of the best Chris has ever made. The wine is simply
packed with fruit, structure, and a thick luscious
palate coating core of berries.
A perfect combination of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah,
and Carignane blend harmoniously with toasty oak.
Blackberry, blueberry, anise and toasty oak flavors
and aromas are immediately evident. The depth and
denseness of the wine however, assures for a continuing
evolution of flavor and aromatic complexity.

French and some American oak

more?
