This is a nice 8 to 9 years old Cabernet Sayuignon from Napa Velley. Well balanced, with some acidity. Be sure to decant it for a few hours before drinking and you will like it better. Goes well with beef and BBQ park. I am expecting a bit more from a 2002 vintage cabernet sauvignon.

Not recommended.
