2002 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Vine Hill Ranch Oakville (750ml) [Slightly Depressed Cork]

"96 out of 100 - The Pauillac-like (Pichon Longueville Baron comes to mind) 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Vine Hill Ranch (872 cases of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a wine of extraordinary opulence and richness. It boasts big, smoky, chocolatey, creme de cassis-like aromas and flavors intermixed with hints of espresso as well as earth. With great intensity, full body, wonderful precision, a juicy, pure finish, and abundant power and tannin, it requires 2-3 years of cellaring. Drink it over the following two decades." - Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate
