2002 Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley California. Seven Seas Voyager.
Deep red color, deep hue, very good fruit and spice aroma with quite a bit of oak and toffee, good fruit taste with spice and pepper notes, oaky, medium mouth feel, somewhat tannic that softened a bit over fifteen minutes, long single note finish. A pretty good match with Gouda cheese and crackers, where the oak notes seemed to enhance the combination adding a pleasant flavor note. 2*+.
A very pretty label, elegant.
