From Mondovi Napa Valley – Tasting 2002
Robert Mondavi 2002 Napa Valley Fumé Blanc displays bright citrus, pineapple, lemon grass, floral and mineral notes that enliven the aromas and cascade across the palate. Barrel-fermentation and gentle stirring during aging in French oak barrels enhanced the elegant, spicy finish.
From Coppola Wines—Tasting Notes 2002
Rubicon 2002 has saturated ruby-purple color signaling ripe fruit and high extractions. The aroma expresses Classic Estate Cabernet character of black cherries tinged with violets. The palate reveals an opulent texture with sweet ripe fruit scented with vanilla, and toasty notes from aging in 100% New French oak barrels. Framing the lavish texture are chocolate, sweet tart fruits, and black licorice that linger on the long finish
characteristics of the vintage which also produced impressive, powerful tannins that will soften with time tin the bottle.
