Very good cab blend. I didn't get but a sip, but everyone really enjoyed this effort. Deep rich red with ripe fruit. I would say 02 cabs are ready to drink.

Very elegant Napa cab. Nice depth of flavors. Nothing over the top or out of balance with the other element. Each sip leads you to another. Definitely will buy again.

Dark opaque ruby color. Elements of cassis, tobacco, oak, and leather on the nose. For some reason, the aroma makes me think of those stodgy old country clubs, with the dark wood panelling and the leather bound chairs. On the palate, this wine exhibits mature flavors of blackcurrant, tobacco, and cedar. Medium body. Fine tannins. It seems this wine has already shed most of its baby fat; it is very much into its adulthood. Drinkable now, and would be a good wine to have with food, but I would be interested in seeing how this precocious wine tastes with a few more years on it. I have one more bottle to find out.

Quite dry. Black cherry and cassis. A touch of heat; some smoke. There is a bit of mint or spice that we couldn't quite name.
