The 2002 Cabernet/Shiraz (52% of the former and 48% of the latter) was aged in French oak for 10 months. Displaying a dense ruby/purple color, deep concentrated flavors (black fruits, loamy soil, and a hint of toast), as well as good weight and richness, it is a pure, surprisingly deep 2002 with a hint of chocolate in the finish. It will drink well for 3-4 years, possibly longer. It is difficult to find a wine of this quality for $10. Importer: Peter Click, Click Imports, Seattle, WA; tel. (800) 859-0689
