Although not as impressive as I had hoped, the 2002 is still an outstanding wine. Composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot and a tiny dollop of Malbec, it came in at 14.7% natural alcohol. This soft, plush Cabernet exhibits smoky herb notes intermixed with black cherry jam, black currants, licorice and loamy soil undertones. Enjoy this full-bodied, silky textured effort now and over the next 10-15 years. Anticipated Maturity: now-2023.

Tannic and young and dry. This adolescent Cab is locked down now, but it shows the flash and structure associated with this vineyard. Is it an ager? Hard to tell, because it’s more elegant than powerful, and you have to wonder if the fruit will outlive the tannins. The betting is on longevity. Drink 2008–2015. ——S.H.(9/1/2006)—— 90
