"The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Speciale is a terrific example of Cabernet. This cuvee spends over 30 months in oak, and is one of the North Coast’s most underrated Cabernet Sauvignons. All of the fruit comes from dry farmed hillside vineyards. It boasts a dense opaque purple color along with a sweet nose of camphor, black currants, tobacco leaves, loamy soil, and subtle vanilla. This majestic, full-bodied, rich, broad offering possesses both power and elegance. Give it 3-4 more years of bottle age, and consume it over the following two decades." 94 points - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Issue 157 |
