2002 Cabernet Sauvignon VIII

-92 Rating | Wine Enthusiast - April 2006

-92 Rating | Wine Spectator - April 2006

Rich and vibrant black currants, anise and plum match well with the viscous black cherry and plum note on the palate. Winemaker Eric Dunham feels this wine really sets the bar for the future.

VINEYARDS: Frenchtown, Double River Estate Vineyard, Lewis Vineyard, Seven Hills, Zepher Ridge

Showing a little age, dark cherry with garnet notes, garnet brick red rim. Nose is quite intense showing quite a lot of wood, herbaceous notes, green pepper and blackcurrant, a little weedy but interesting nonetheless. Palate is better, very smooth, almost completely resolved tannins, lovely silky texture, nicely balanced sweet blackcurrant fruit with juicy currant acidity. The acidity is great to cut through food - in this case a steak. The finish on this wine is very good, smooth and long lasting.

This is Dunham’s top wine, and it is aged in a 50/50 mix of French and American oak.

The black cherry fruit, not too sweet, is not at all jammy, heavy or hot; but it is supple and deliciously nuanced with espresso and smoke.
