2002 Catena Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemaker's Notes

Fact Sheet

The Catena 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon has an opaque violet color. The nose offers focused aromas of cassis and black cherry fruit with touches of grilled green pepper and smoky toast. The mouthfeel is full and well structured with ripe red currant fruit flavors and notes of cigar box. The finish is long and complex, with ripe sweet tannins.
