Fashioned from fruit acquired from the Champoux, Klipsun, Ciel du Cheval, and Seven Hills Vineyards, the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a sweet nose of candied blackberries and cassis. Broad, candied, harmonious, and pure, this sappy wine reveals a sultry core of blackberry, dark cherry, and cassis liqueurs in a satin-textured, medium-bodied format. Its long, supple finish displays additional flavors, including tar and licorice. Drink this beauty over the next dozen years.
