2002 Anthology Red Blend Napa Valley

Tasting Notes

The 2002 Anthology Red Blend opens with an inviting bouquet of black cherry, cassis, and plum, layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, and baking spices from its time in French oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and richly textured, with flavors of dark berries, mocha, and a hint of graphite. Fine-grained tannins provide structure, while vibrant acidity lends freshness and lift. The finish is long and persistent, echoing with nuances of dark chocolate and dried herbs, showcasing the wine’s complexity and age-worthiness.
