Flavor Profile

A powerhouse Cabernet that marries Napa Valley concentration with remarkable finesse.
This 2002 vintage opens with intense aromas of dark chocolate and ripe plum, leading to a palate dense with blackberry compote and warming vanilla spice. The oak feels integrated rather than imposed, supporting layers of cocoa powder and black cherry liqueur. The finish lingers with gentle tannins and hints of cedar, showing beautiful maturity. At twenty-one years, it demonstrates excellent aging grace while retaining vibrant fruit character.
🍷 You appreciate mature Napa Cabernets that showcase both power and elegance without overwhelming oak dominance.
Pairs with: Grilled ribeye with herb butter, Braised short ribs with root vegetables, Aged cheddar and dark chocolate, Wild mushroom risotto
