2002 Jocelyn Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Rated 90 points & Top Value - Wine Spectator (Nov 2005)

Winemaker Tasting Notes:
This wine is a blend of grapes from several distinctive Napa Valley appellations including Stags Leap, Pritchard Hill and Calistoga. Our winemaker sources for diversity of fruit and flavor. The Stags Leap fruit clearly dominates this blend with flavors and aromas of strawberry and black cherry. The wine was aged in the barrel for 20 months and spent another 12 months of bottle aging before release.

Vintage:
2002 has been described as an extraordinary growing year for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and has clearly surpassed the highly touted 2001 vintage in depth and intensity. Heavy rains in the early winter were followed by warm weather and resulted in an early bud break. Bloom began in late May and the extremely favorable growing conditions provided an excellent selection of fruit.
