Purchase Palmaz Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

This 2002 estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon makes a powerful statement with its layers of dark fruit, chocolate and spicy oak. The flavors are rich and dense and are balanced with firm integrated tannins. With its full bodied finish, this wine has great potential and will continue to develop thru 2012.

I believe 89 points is not a fair rating. This wine is very well balanced, loaded with deep, rich fruit and well-integrated tannins. This is a winery that has such potential for greatness. Definately, put it on your itinerary for a Napa wine tour. The cellar is like a James Bond movie set!
