Winemaker Notes
The finished wine displays an abundance of ripe blackberry and black currant aromas, bright plums, sweet vanilla and cocoa tones. The palate texture is bright, rich and mouth-filling, with fresh fruit flavors.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The stunning 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (1,750 cases produced) offers an inky ruby/purple color followed by gorgeous aromas of white chocolate, creme de cassis, licorice, and subtle toasty oak. There is fabulous fruit on the attack, medium to full body, an opulent mouthfeel, and a long finish. This flashy effort should drink beautifully for 15+ years.

Wine Spectator
A big, bold, rich and expressive style that packs in lots of flavor, yet manages to be elegant and stylish without being heavy. Deep, perfumed currant, floral, spice and berry flavors coat the palate, ending with ripe, integrated tannins.

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.
Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
