The ruby/purple-colored 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Terra Rossa offers up scents of cedar wood, cassis, and spice box. Medium-bodied, with jagged edges as well as rugged tannin, it is a very good effort, although not as top-notch as some past vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2013.

Bright flavors, gentle texture and lovely balance add up to a stylish wine that shows pure currant, blueberry and a touch of sage and pepper as the finish lingers. Tannins are finely textured. Best from 2007 through 2012. 3,000 cases made, 400 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Coonawarra Select to Add
