Sherwin Family Vineyards, Napa Valley, CaliforniaSpring Mountain District2002 Estate Cabernet SauvignonThis wine has a deep glow in its purple core, real fat with full saturation in the crimson rims, and no paucity of color. Hugely fruity nose of blackberry, black cherry, plum fruit with a curious green-apple edge, hot milk chocolate, cinnamon and orange peel, grows and grows in the nostrils. Full-bodied, soft but not wimpy, by the mid-palate the tannins gain traction and grab it by the collar to stand upright. Fairly spicy in a more sweet than sharp manner, a mixture of lemon meringue, dill and rosemary herbs, just a lagging touch of earthiness. The juicy cherry, raspberry, strawberry tones are long and friendly. Hits the sweet spot solidly. Contains small unspecified percentages of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. 88 pointshttp://www.haneswinereview.com/reviews/oldervintages2007.html
