2004 Napa Valley Sycamore Cabernet Sauvignon
Acclaim:
93 Points - Robert M. Parker Jr., Wine Advocate, December 2007
Vintage and Winemaker's Notes:
The color is opaque ruby-garnet, an abyss for white light! The aroma opens with a brooding black raspberry syrup, milk chocolate, and briary thicket. Dark currants, slight pepper corn with brown sugar, molasses and a touch of aromatic cedar fill in the complexity. The tannins are really quite pleasant with plenty of structure for age worthiness. The flavor is in the realm of blackberry, dark chocolate and black currant with a long, lingering finish. This is a wine with incredible depth!
