The color was dark purple; Smokey nose. Definitely New World. Toasted plums and figs, with long vanilla and dark berry finish. It might be a syrah (Uncle P). This is Pride Mountain cabernet sauvignon, 2002. A 3+ to 4. Here is what Wine Advocate had to say:

Rating: 92
The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (5,000 cases made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a supple, flamboyant, and more accessible version of the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep ruby/purple-colored, with a classic nose of tobacco leaf, black currant, licorice, and smoke, the wine is medium to full bodied, has a supple texture, and attractive textural mouthfeel in addition to a plush, heady finish. Drink it over the next 8-10 years.
