The 2002 Saffredi (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 15% Alicante) is somewhat lean and compact, showing notes of herbs, tobacco and dark fruit with good length and balance. It is another excellent wine from this challenging harvest and looks to be a relatively early-maturing Saffredi. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2012.
