2002 Pride Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Napa

(96 Points  --  Wine Advocate) The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) reveals an inkier purple color along with a classic nose of graphite, creme de cassis, smoke, crushed rocks, and barrique. Surprisingly approachable, long, concentrated, and impressive with flawless integration of wood, tannin, and acidity, it can be enjoyed over the next 15 years. Wine Advocate Issue 162 12/05
