Description:
Our 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon displays all the characteristics of a fine Rutherford grown Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose is complex, filled with bing cherry, currant and spice aromas. On the palate, the dense cherry is accompanied by hints of cinnamon, mocha and cedar, with the characteristic and well integrated Rutherford dust tannins on the finish. This wine will age beautifully for an additional eight to ten 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.
