Friday, March 16, 2007 - Medium-to-dark garnet color (edges shows the 5 year aging) and distinct cassis Cabernet fruit on the nose. Nose opens big after an hour out of the bottle. Being a 2002 Napa, this wine is more balanced than prior Cabernet CH lots. Very lush, sensuous, and pleasant drinking by itself without food. CH's statement of, "cellar-worthy for 5-7 years" seems correct. It will be interesting to drink this wine in 5 more years if anyone can wait that long. :-)
