96 RP "I retasted the just-released 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon 25th Anniversary and it’s even better than it was last year. A seriously profound, rich, concentrated red fashioned from 30-year old vines, and aged in 100% new oak, it boasts sumptuous black currant liqueur-like characteristics intermingled with notions of spice box, sweet oak, licorice, and incense. Extremely full-bodied with tremendous stuffing, a broad mid-palate, and a fabulously long finish, it should age beautifully for a minimum of 20-25 years." 93+ RP "The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon 25th Anniversary is also 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Flora Springs’ estate vineyards in Rutherford, and was aged in 100% new oak. It should survive and flourish until Flora Springs celebrates its 50th anniversary. An opaque purple color is followed by abundant aromas of blackberries, cassis, charcoal, graphite and toasty oak. Dense, rich, tannic and backward, it may develop into an even bigger wine than the Hillside Reserve."
