Description:
2002 was a year that gave wine growers dedicated to the pursuit of perfection an opportunity to shine. Again, it was a year when having an Estate Vineyard made the difference between outstanding and world class. At Clark-Claudon we nurtured the vineyard from vine to vine, decided which grape bunches would make the cut and then harvested them as each had individually reached full maturity.
The 2002 harvest was the embodiment of all that Clark~Claudon Vineyards has grown to represent; family, hard work, a consistency of excellence & celebration. The resulting 2002 Vintage is arguably our best vintage to date!

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.
