2002 Empyrean
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon 87%, Merlot 10%, Cabernet Franc 3%
Maturation: 100% 1st use, hand selected, tightly grained French oak
Alcohol: 14%
Tasting notes / Reviews: Fragrant and perfumed with hints of spearmint and violets at first. After a little time in the glass there is a rich amalgam of plums, currants and cedar. Currant and cedar flavours with fruit sweetness and fine dry tannins with intensity and balance. The long aftertaste is of black currant and dark chocolate. Cellaring potential, 20+ years.
