Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Monte Rosso does not have the depth of the 2003. It is slightly softer, dark ruby/purple, with more fruit in the front-end, but not the intensity, richness, or structure in the mid-palate or finish. This will be a more charming, elegant wine when released. It should drink well for 10-15+ years. Range: 88-91

Wine & Spirits
The rich fruit of this wine is lush and fragrant, with superripe blackberry and blueberry flavors. The tannins hit that fruit with power, contrasting its gentleness with tougher, mountain-grown structure. This needs time for those two elements to meld.

While Sonoma County is acclaimed—and rightfully so—for its Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, and Zinfandels, it also produces exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Of the region’s 18 American Viticultural Areas, only a handful produce top-notch Cabernet Sauvignon. These appellations include Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Sonoma Valley and Dry Creek Valley. Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignons made in these appellations can offer a complex array of aromas and flavors. Fruit notes such as blackberry, blackcurrant, cassis, black cherry and raspberry often are accompanied by hints of graphite, dusty earth, cigar box, toast and vanilla. The varietal has a rich history in Sonoma, and some of these Cabernet Sauvignons and Cabernet-based blends rival the best from Napa Valley.
