Cardinale Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2002  E-mail a friend

95 Points—"The extraordinary 2002 Cardinale was aged in 100% new French oak. This inky/purple-colored Pauillac-styled red boasts notes of cedar wood, licorice, and black currants along with a smoky, ripe, full-bodied palate impression, terrific concentration, sweet tannin, and multiple layers. It should hit its peak in 2 - 4 years and last through 2020." Robert M. Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate, February of 2005
