The Wine Enthusiast

Michel-Schlumberger 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
Wine Enthusiast Rating: 91

Price: $32/750 ml
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Appellation: Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma, California, US
Producer: Michel-Schlumberger
Bottle Size: 750 ml
Category: Red

Notes: Cabs from this appellation, no matter how ripe they are, always seem to have a brawny, briary edge to them, and this wine is no exception. The blackberries might have been picked in a dusty, thorny patch. Something about the acidy, tannic structure is appealing. S.H. (12/31/2004) — 91

The Wine Enthusiast

Michel-Schlumberger 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
Wine Enthusiast Rating: 85

Price: $27/750 ml
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Appellation: Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma, California, US
Producer: Michel-Schlumberger
Bottle Size: 750 ml
Category: Red

Notes: Earthy, with dusty tannins, there’s some pretty blackberry fruit. But it’s a light wine that turns thin in the middle palate. Not a keeper, but it’s polished for near term consumption. S.H. (12/1/2001) — 85
