Wine Review: This dark ruby colored wine opens with an attractive clove and menthol like bouquet. On the palate, this medium to full bodied wine is very nicely balanced, smooth, and fruit forward with savory and delicious black cherry flavors. The finish is dry and its soft tannins are slightly prolonged. The panel suggests that you enjoy this very likeable wine with filet mignon, stuffed mushrooms, or Steak Diane. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: A pure expression of mountain fruit, the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon is fragrant with bright red fruit aromas, dark chocolate, vanilla bean, sweet black tea, and floral notes. Full bodied and effusively flavorful, the wine has a soft, velvety approach, and delivers loads of cherry-berry fruit well integrated with satiny tannins, lively acidity and a long, echoing finish. Decant to release the abundant flavors and aromas of this youthful a,nd vibrant cabernet.
