No such issue exists with the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Reserve. This youthful, backward effort also exhibits plenty of tannin as well as a dense purple color, and copious notes of creme de cassis, roasted herbs, incense, graphite and vanillin. Full-bodied, dense, rich and broodingly backward, it should be forgotten for five years and drunk over the following 15-20.
