Kendall-Jackson Stature Red 2002
Napa Valley, California, United StatesThe '02 Stature is a 70/28/2 cabernet /merlot/petit verdot blend that is beginning to awaken. Stature is always the best of the best fruit meaning it is a vintage dependent, block by block pick. Love the coffee, leather, tobacco notes as they mix with the spicy, blackberry jam, clove and cedar aspects. On the palate, the wine is rich, round, supple and concentrated. It has fine density to the corners with smoky, vanilla, coffee, peppery, blackberry jam, black cherry, clove, olive, cardamom flavours with a warm, long finish. It's beginning to shape up but with its finesse and length, it has fine potential to age through 2015. Well done.Tasted: 02 December 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $175.00 | 750ml | Special Order - Summit Fine Wines |
