2002 O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain
Community Tasting Note
Neecies Likes this wine:
Friday, June 26, 2015 - Lambert's bottle; purchased 2nd hand at Wades Wines in So Cal. Too evolved and mature for an 02. No primary fruit, all end-phase secondary--brownish black color, tons of sediment. Must have been passively stored in its prior life. A shame--they charged him close to $200 each for these.
