2002 Match Vineyards “Butterdragon Hill” Cabernet, St. Helena, Napa

FREE shipping.Napa Valley wines from 2002 have always been crowd favorites. Big, lush, round fruit flavors please even those who aren't normally into Cab. We call it our Party Wine. BOTTLED 200 CASES.This 2002 wine is the inaugural vintage for the winery.This vintage was aged in 100% new French oak for 18 months .    A deep, dark ruby in the glass, this wine has a nose of bright cherry fruit and the vanilla aromas of French oak, mixed with cola and tobacco notes. In the mouth it is balanced and full bodied, with sweet very very soft tannins supporting primary flavors of cherry, cola, some light floral notes, and a slight earthy coffee hint in its moderate finish. This wine is more “pretty” than complex, and is very accessible at the moment, which  makes it a crowd pleaser.
