2004 Cabernet Sauvignon
Winemakers Comments:
Bright and vibrant, it reminds us of cherries, bramble, and a bit of mint. This vintage is a good example of intense mountain fruitfulness. Deep and rich, it lingers beautifully on the tongue. Fun drinking for its intensity now, a few more years will give it the texture and complexity we strive for.
