Note di degustazione
The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon is just beginning to enter the early part of its maturity, but ideally it needs more time in bottle. A refined, lifted wine, the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon is fleshy and racy, but not as rich or ample in style as most wines of the year. As deeply satisfying and pleasurable as the 2002 is today, its best days almost certainly lie ahead.

The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon offers an attractive burst of fruit, but then loses most of its persistence on the mid-palate and finish. Overall, this is a solid effort, but it falls short within the context of the year and the other wines made around the same time.
The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon is a real stunner. Deep, fleshy and explosive, the 2002 possesses off the charts textural richness as well as considerable aromatic breadth. Tobacco, mint, spice, incense, lavender and mocha build into a captivating crescendo of aromas, flavors and textures. Harvest ran from September 5 to October 8, late by current standards. Yields were just 1.5 tons per acre.
