'02 SALUS Cabernet Sauvignon

'02 SALUS Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $55.00 per bottle

Description: Our ‘Salus’ Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the softer side of our estate vineyard, and is produced mainly from fruit from our newest plantings. These new selections produce grapes with soft tannins, ample depth and body. The grapes have fully ripened and display the distinguished quality of “Rutherford dust.” The 2002 vintage shows aromas of blueberries, blackberries and rose petals. The palate explodes with deep-stone fruit characters of plum and black cherry. The balanced finish lingers with flavors of chocolate and vanilla, and a nice accent of toasty oak. Tannins are mouth-filling, yet smooth and supple. As this Cabernet Sauvignon matures, the vivacity of its youth will continue to open and become more expressive in the bottle. This wine will age beautifully for 15+ years. Enjoy!
