91-93 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "(an approximation of the final blend, to include 80% to 85% cabernet sauvignon and the rest merlot) Bright medium ruby. Roasted raspberry, currant and tobacco on the nose; shows the characteristic leafy quality of this individual wine, but this is superripe. Sappy and fresh, with a strong impression of chewy extract. Deceptively simple today but stuffed with black fruit flavor and quite lush in the middle. The broad, fine tannins coat the entire palate. (May 2003)"
Producer notes: "2001 Moraga Red Wine is true to form with notes of cherry, cassis and tobacco mingled with hints of smoke and mineral. Blueberry, cassis and black olive with a bit of mineral dust dominate the flavor profile. New French oak barrels contribute nuances of vanilla and spice, as well as a bit of tannin to bolster the structure. This is a luscious wine that fills the mouth with a full, viscous texture and finishes with a juicy persistence."
