Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #171(6/2007) Rating: 91 points Drink: 2010-2022
Another sleeper of the vintage for this property that has been doing impressive work over recent vintages, the 2004 (a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot) displays a dark ruby/purple color along with classic aromas of cedar, creme de cassis, earth, spice, and wood. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, long, and impressively endowed, it should be at its peak between 2010-2022. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2007) Score: 87
Aromas of sweet tobacco and currant follow through to a medium body, with angular tannins and an herbal, berry aftertaste. Slightly disappointing. Best after 2010. 25,000 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Youthful, complex, with notes of cedar, cassis and coffee. Smooth and rich. Fresh, with bags of blackcurrant fruit. Still young. Drink 2013-23. |
