2004 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Subtotal: $0.00
About This Wine:
The “Cobblestone Vineyard Reserve” represents the best of the best from our family estate vineyard on Napa Valley’s Atlas Peak.
As our Cabernet matures, we set aside what we consider the finest barrels of each of our two Cabernet Sauvignon clones. From this outstanding juice we then determine which percentage blend would possess the best structure and showcase the exceptional characteristics of the vintage.
In the case of the 2004 vintage, it was clear that a pure showing of Clone 4 could not be surpassed. The Clone 4 was truly complete in its intense black fruit, spice, minerality and balance.
The barrels selected for the 2004 Reserve Cabernet represent 95% new French oak, complementing the wine’s impressive structure which indicates very strong aging potential (15+ years).

Ratings:
91 Points - Wine Enthusiast "At the age of about five years, this Cab is quite soft and dry, and the fruit is just beginning to show development. It’s changing from fresh blackberries and cherries to dried fruits and currants, with a dusty quality. The oak brings in sweetly welcome notes. Should glide into maturity through 2012."
