Switchback Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Peterson Family Vineyard 1999 (5 bts) 2001 (2 bts) 2002 (1 bt) R. Parker, 96 pts. 02/05 2003 (4 bts) R. Parker, 94 pts. 12/05 Napa Note on 2001: "The other-worldly 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Peterson Family Vineyard is ... to die for! Given its quality, the price is surprisingly realistic, considering how many California North Coast mediocrities fetch three digit prices. This opaque purple-colored Cabernet exhibits wonderfully sweet aromas of melted licorice intermixed with cedar wood, black currant liqueur, chocolate, and spice box. This full-throttle, unctuously-textured, dense, broad, pure, impeccably balanced, expansive 2001 is mouth-coating in its richness and intensity. It can be drunk with great pleasure, or cellared for 15-20 years. Wow!" R. Parker, 98 pts. 12/03 12 bottles
