My favorite of this trio of elegant, stylish Cabernet Sauvignons made by Heidi Barrett for owner Dr. Madaiah Revana, is the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon. Its dark ruby/purple color is followed by a beautiful perfume of sweet cedar, smoky creme de cassis, black cherry, and a hint of licorice. Silky textured, medium to full-bodied, opulent, superbly balanced, and already showing impressive complexity, it should drink well for 10-12 years.

Sleek and well-proportioned, offering ripe currant and blackberry, mineral and tobacco flavors. Gains depth and traction, as firm ripe tannins give this a chewy, cedary aftertaste.

The nose is chock full of roasted black fruits, anise and mineral. Slight hints of beeswax enhance the silky, exotic impression on the nose with an ultra-smooth mouth feel of concentrated blackberry, cassis, and a long, sweet finish complemented by excellent acidity. (the bottle had been open for about 2 hours at this point)

12-17-10 my discussion with Natahlie at Winery: This wine was recently in tasting at the French Laundry and it was reported to be excellent. The 2002 was great year and is sold out. 2007 Cab at Revana is a 97 pt rated wine and costs upwards of $194.00. Natalie said will be great in next 3-5 years,
