2002 McManis Family Cabernet Sauvignon

[Drew]

I want to debunk a myth...IMHO.
Just popped a 2002, perfectly stored $10 cheapie cab for 9 years that was supossed to only be good for several years beyond vintage date, and it was OUTSTANDING and still NATTOFG!. I've heard and read all the proclamations that 90 some % of all wines are meant to be drank within 2 to 4 years of birth...BS!!!!!! I've cellard many, many sub $15 bottles and 5 to 15 years they're "fenoaminala" just like this bottling. Concentrated cassis, dark fruit, chocolate, cinnamon, earthy tar, with a long finish and still plenty of tannins to carry this a bunch more years, with good storage, for major enjoyment.
