Hand-selecting the best of all of the wines produced in 2002, we are proud to release our 2002 Estate-grown Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.

Huge in the mouth, dark-red fruit flavors mix with leather and licorice, while the toasty oak finish lingers on the palate with big balanced tannins. This powerful and elegant wine will continue to develop and pleasure for many years to come.

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.
