Description:
Our 2002 vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of cassis, eucalyptus, coffee and smoke. On the palate, look for similar notes with black current and sage flavors. The fruit is supported by round tannins and finishes with toast, smoke and chocolate. The depth and concentration of this wine will allow it to age gracefully for the next 10-20 years.

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Sauvignon:
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted and significant among the five dominant varieties in France’s Bordeaux region, as well as the most successful red wine produced in California. Though it was thought to be an ancient variety, recent genetic studies at U.C. Davis have determined that Cabernet Sauvignon is actually the hybrid offspring of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Sauvignon berries are small with black, thick and very tough skin. This toughness makes the grapes fairly resistant to disease and spoilage and able to withstand some autumn rains with little or no damage. It is a mid to late season ripener. These growth characteristics, along with its flavor appeal have made Cabernet Sauvignon one of the most popular red wine varieties worldwide.
