I had this open for 2 hours before drinking. Nice fresh fruit aromas. The first taste was of fresh fruit (dark cherries/blueberries) with a smooth, enjoyable finish. This cab was easy to drink. Not alot of depth or structure, but still a good cab.

The 1998 that I opened last month was truly an oustanding wine, made during a tough El Nino harvest.

2002 Lewelling Cabernet Sauvignon - USA, California, Napa Valley (9/6/2007) WIML90,PURPLE91,WA88,NOWS Tasted September 6, 2007. Opened and splash decanted about 30 minutes before serving. Dark garnet to purple color in the glass, clear hue throughout, slightly vibrant looking. Attractive nose of rich dark fruits, plums, cassis, Kirsch with some sandalwood or Rutherford dust towards the finish. Flavors of black currants, black licorice and black cherries. Medium acidity, medium to firm tannins, full body. Drink now with an hour in the decanter or continue to hold. (90 pts.)

I had this open for 3 hours before drinking. Dark fruit aromas and flavors. This wine has the best earth notes I've ever had. The wine had great balance and a nice smooth finish. A great cab.
