2002 Provenance Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford
USA, California, Napa Valley, Rutherford
Barrel tasting at winery, this was just the Cabernet component as the final blend will include approx 15% Merlot. Ripe black fruit with good spice. Plum and black cherry on palate, again showing nice spice. Merlot should soften some of the slightly rough edges, and I think this has 88-92 point potential.

2001 Provenance Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford 90 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley, Rutherford
Tasting at winery. From part of the former George de Latour vineyard with 15% Merlot added. Plum, anise and kirsch aromas. Soft start on palate, picking up weight from middle to finish. Very good structure, better in another couple of years.

2002 Hewitt Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 90 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley, Rutherford
Barrel tasting at winery. Softer, lush black fruit that comes across as very well-rounded, with modest spice, modest structure. Very good in a couple of years, but pricey at around $80. Also from a part of what was formerly in the BV GdLatour vineyard.

2002 Jacob Franklin Petite Sirah Hayne Vineyard 91 Points

Tasting at winery. Smoky aromas to start with intense blackberry and a hint of black pepper. Similar flavor profile on palate with overall good balance and depth. Better 2006 or later.
