Copper, nail polish remover, newspaper, leather, baking spices, meat on the nose. Dark, tart fruit -- blackberry, black cherry pallet. Mature tannins. Drinking great right now.

If you are looking for a well aged value in Napa Cabernet, look no further. This 06 can be purchased now at K&L Wine Merchants for $29.99. They also have 03 & 05 for the same price. It's good now but would benefit from another 3-5 years in bottle. The 06 is; blueberry compote, boysenberries, chocolate cake with fruit, black licorice, baking spices, a touch of tar, irony minerals, dust from crushed dry rocks and a fruity anise finish. 90 now, maybe 92+ with time. Merry Christmas!

Not bad for $33. Released several library vintages this year ('14) and the '02 is one of my favorites.

2002 vintage and still rocking and relevant. Lots of overripe fruit and leather. Drink this one now!

Cassis and leather, fine tannin, still seems quite young. Old school cab. Great QPR.
