Winemaker Emeritus Ed Sbragia compares 2002 to 1992 and 1991. The somewhat cooler growing season of 2003 was more like 1995, he adds. This was a sentiment I heard more than a few times during my tour of the North Coast, and this is one reason I believe that many of the 2003s may not only provide pleasant surprises down the road but may also outlive the 2004s and 2002s. Sbragia doesn't believe in racking cabernet: the wines go into their "ultimate" barrels in January after the harvest and generally remain there, getting only a monthly topping-up, until they are bottled a full two years later.
