SS in the sweet spot. This is an effortless beauty. Balance. Prowess. Silk.

Tasting this after it's been open for 6+ hours and decanted. Just a slight hint of oxidation beginning to appear, but very slight. The balance is formidable the tannins have subsided expressing the full richness of the wine. Hints of cocoa, black pepper and black berry fruits. Throwing some sediment. A nice meniscus starting to form with just the lightest of brick hues. A long lingering finish. I have to bump this up to a 9.5. Great Napa Cab Sauv! Don't know or care what Parker rated it at and I'm not a big Cali Cab fan, but this sure is a great wine.

Early valentine's dinner (oysters are done)... now reverse seared rib cap steaks. 1 hour decant (decent chunky sediment). A grand dark burnt crimson color with decent bricking. On the nose: Bingo!!! That delicate aged sweet perfumed cab nose burst from the glass with dark berries, creme brulee, mint, sweet tobacco, stewed meat. Taste: velvety smooth, full body wine with earth, dark berries, sandlewood, cocoa and a spiced cassis medium plus finish. Holding up great, but don't wait to try!! Its what you want in an aged Napa cab.

Anniversary dinner. More fruit than I was expecting for a 14 year old. Decanted only an hour. Ripe but structured. Smoothed out with time. Nice but not overly refined. It's a big boy for its age and the finish was quite long.

This 2002 was rich, balanced and wonderful. Worthy of Caymus' reputation.
