With a classic varietal Cabernet profile, this richly structured and integrated wine shows blackberry, cassis and herbal, leather aromas with flavors of ripe plum, bittersweet chocolate, black cherry and currants on an earthy, spicy finish. "Firm and chewy, with a toasty, smoky edge to the currant fruit, finishing with a mild grip. Best from 2008 through 2011. 5,524 cases made. –HS" - Rated 87, Wine Spectator "The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley is 100% varietal. It received 22 months in small oak, 40% new, and was bottled unfined and unfiltered. It has an excellent bouquet of cherry, raspberry, and red currants followed by a wine with very good depth and concentration. With ripe fruit and well-integrated tannin, this tasty Cabernet can be enjoyed now and over the next 8-10 years." - Rated 90, Robert Parker |
