2002 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley In the glass our 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon's deep color promises rich flavors-and it delivers with cassis, blackberries and just a hint of earthy truffles and cedar. In the mouth, the wine is well balanced between acid and tannin and the smooth, velvety finish offers a touch of pepper. Enjoyable upon release, this is a wine that will gain even more complexity with some bottle age. The wine's fine structure and rich flavors make it perfect with grilled and braised meat dishes and hearty cheeses.
