DArk plum, borderline raisin-ated but in a pleasing way. Well integrated on the palate. Palate and nose are consistent. Really beagn to fad as the night wore on. Finished 7 of 8 in tasting of 2002 napa cabs.

2002 Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon Backus Vineyard 95 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley, Oakville
Started off with a simple nose, notes of cassis, and dark berry. On the palate, well integrated, with some spice and a tad bit of grainy tannins on the finish. This showed the biggest improvement over the evening, the palate became silkier as the night went on the nose continued to open and become more complex. Finished 4 of 8 in tasting of 2002 Napa cabs, but was my 3 of 8.

2002 Lewis Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 97 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
Showed very young and large scaled. Rich dark fruits on the nose, some stones and minerals. Earthy finish, with some spice. The palate was well integrated. Overall still had a lot of guts, and a very complex nose. This and the backus appeared to have the most life ahead of it. Finished 1 of 8 in tasting of 2002 Napa cabs.

2002 Grgich Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 94 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
Darker berry nose with some minerals. Polished finish on the palate, and a well-balanced wine from start to finish. For me, this was not as complex on the nose as I would like. Finished 3 of 8 in tasting of 2002 napa cabs, but was my 4 of 8.

2002 Sherwin Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Spring Mountain District 96 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley, Spring Mountain District
Started off a bit tight on the nose to start that opened up as the night wore on. Notes of cassis, raspberry, dark cherry and a touch of minerals on the nose. The palate has dusty tannins, but they're nicely polished with a high-toned finish. Finished 2 of 8 in tasting of 2002 Napa cabs.
