Winemaker's Notes
The heat experienced during the 2004 vintage pushed this Cabernet Sauvignon right toward the soft, plush textured zone. This natural lushness is accentuated and balanced by the relatively generous use of new top-end French oak. Like the above wine, this has cassis and fresh loam, but the loamy side is carried much further by the gorgeous new wood. While it is rich and thick, it still has enough acidity and structural tannin to be very good with meals.
