Juslyn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District Vineyard Select 2002

From the 7-acre estate vineyard (Juslyn owns a total of 40 acres), the deep, dark ruby/purple-hued 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot) exhibits notions of crushed rocks, subtle oak, blackberries, blueberries, and cherries. It possesses full body, excellent purity, a multidimensional mid-palate as well as texture, and a lovely finish. Still young and unevolved, it should hit its peak in 3andndash;5 years, and last for two decades.

Juslynandrsquo;s top wine is just under the legal limit to call it Cabernet Sauvignon. Itandrsquo;s surprisingly soft and accessible for a Spring Mountain Cab, offering immediate pleasure with its juicy, upfront blackberry liqueur and cocoa flavors. Itandrsquo;s certainly a complex, balanced, elegant wine, and quite drinkable now. But it should hold and even improve for a decade.
