Oakville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2002
Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon 83%, Cabernet Franc 11%, Petite Verdot 6%
Tasting notes / Reviews: The aroma has classic Cabernet fruits of blackberry, currant, sweet cherry, plum, and fresh red raspberry jam. The Cabernet Franc adds bright aromatic and floral notes which complement nicely the oak spice notes of vanilla, chocolate, caramel, and cedar. The palate is flavorful with a core of sweet boysenberry, blackberry, and juicy raspberry fruits, accented with vanilla, cedar, and chocolate oak flavors. The mouth feel is smooth and rich with a luscious texture that builds with round supple refined tannins lingering on the finish.
2005 Oakville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon “Creamy-textured, intense and focused, with ripe, vibrant black cherry, currant, anise and plum notes that are well-structured, with lively acidity and firm yet ripe tannins. Drink now through 2015. 1,000 cases made.” 93 pts, Wine Spectator
