The sweet black fruit and violet-scented 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Champoux Vineyard is crammed with gorgeous layers of cassis, blackberries, and brambleberries. Medium-bodied and pure, it is seamless, super-expressive, spicy, and graceful. Its lengthy finish is studded with black currants and highly present tannin that will require some cellaring. Projected maturity: 2009-2020.
