Slightly hazy red purple in the glass. Full nose of currant and blackberry cobbler. Confirmed on the full-bodied palate with fine tannins, medium acidity, and a hint of black on the finish. Here we are 16 years on and this wine is still delivering! ‘02 was a great vintage in Napa but you should probably drink up now. You won’t feel bad, I promise. I’m enjoying with cowboy rubbed London broil.

Elegant and powerful; still youthful. Endlessly enjoyable and engaging on so many levels.

02 corison, the tiny lady powerhouse that is Cathy. The best Cali cab, ever. 01 and 05 FTW.

Decant for sediment and pour (lots of chunky/fine sediment). A remarkable murky garnet with bricking. On the nose: Intoxicating notes of stewed dark fruit, green bell pepper, sweet vanilla, menthol, worn leather, dried herbs. Taste: soft, smooth, delicate, balanced wine with prune, cedar, graphite, and a sweet spice tobacco medium plus finish. YUM!!! Still holding its own and fun to drink and discuss tonight. Cheers.
