2001 Belvedere Cabernet Sauvignon, Healdsburg Ranches
Last night I decided to head down to the wine cellar and crack open a bottle of which I was not too familiar. Belvedere Winery as far as I can tell has no real presence on the internet, so finding information about older bottles can be tough. Either way, I didn’t have much time to let the ‘01 aerate so I poured it moments after opening the bottle. The acidity was low, and the nose was moderate. Moderately strong flavor. All in all quite a good wine to pair with steak and sweet potato. As I was dining alone last night I didn’t finish the bottle, and so it has been corked and left for tonight. We’ll see how well it holds over.
I guess one of the best ways to find out more about this Winery is to just call them up and go for a tasting. 
If I do end up going, I’ll take some pictures and make some more detailed notes. I guess the summary of this post is, “it goes well with steak” haha. Thumbs up on this one so far.
This is the only 1/2 decent logo I have been able to find of Belvedere so bear with me. I realize it isn’t the same year, but at least you’ll get an idea of the logo. I’ll take a picture of the logo tonight and post on the hold-over-ability.
