Rich yet elegant, the classy 2001 Philippe Lorraine Cabernet is a prime example of the softer, European style of this varietal. Cabernet Sauvignon with a pinch of Cabernet Franc produced from Napa Valley grapes, north of Yountville and aged for about 18 months in French oak. Carefully blended to achieve a balance of berry-like flavors yet stay structured, this is an excellent wine for marinated pork tenderloin. A California favorite.
