Acclaim Summary
"Rich, deep, and very classy.... Well balanced." — VinQuebec.com
“This beauty is an expression of layered elegance… blackberry, dark cherry and plum flavors are balanced against youthful dusty tannins and a hint of cedar, the textures and flavors knit together.” — Vinowine.com
"A glossy smooth, subtle, classic example of the variety's black currant and dark spicy herbal aromatics. Taut, even tightly coiled like a spring, the wine is richly nuanced with smoky overtones to dry spice flavors."
94 Points. "Jean-François Pellet’s graceful 2002 cabernet is like a piece of classical sculpture in its symmetry. Lean and sinewy at first, the plum and black cherry aromas are held in check by a beguiling soil and cedar scent. With a little time, the aromas integrate, broaden and allow the fruit to come center stage, grounded by gentle tannins and a pulse-quickening acidity. Impressive now, it will have a long cellar life."
91 Points — Exceptional.
"Black cherry, black currant, violet and vanilla aromas. Medium-full with good concentration, this is an elegantly styled effort with attractive ripe fruit, refined tannins, nicely integrated oak and a graceful, lengthy finish.”
Silver Medal
