Dry Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Grapes: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 1% Malbec

At first swirl, this wine presents a dark ruby color accompanied by purple hues and a sense of texture in the glass. Aromas of black cherry and plum along with vanilla and black pepper come forward with additional time. On the palate, the flavors are complex and balanced with deep blackberry, coffee, and cedar along with more subtle notes of dark chocolate. This finish brings all of this together with supple tannins and a long, lingering aftertaste.
