2004 Vintage Tasting Notes

ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 91+ POINTS Dense, complex, chocolate and violets and black cherries oh my! Rob is an old friend of the Figgins family and the Leonetti influence is evident in the wine. Smooth, lush, quite tightly structured and needing decanting if you drink it now, this classic WA Cab will age for 10-14 years. Unusually deft and sophisticated offering from a new winemaker.

From the winery:

The story: Smooth, luscious, complicated layers of violets, caramel, and chocolate-covered cherries. Call all your friends! A classic Washington cabernet. A fruit bomb from legendary vineyards. The finish of premium French, Hungarian, and Minnesota oak barrels with a bonus of an 1800 gallon French oak tank. (Think long clear sunset seen from the summit of Mount Rainier.) Fruit low-cropped for intensity. Balanced. This wine spent 24 months in barrel and three extra months in the oak blending tank. Bottled in heavy French glass. Corked with the highest grade Lafitte cork. About cork---it grows as bark on oak trees, a completely sustainable resource which creates very diverse yet quietly stable ecosystems. Every bottle is hand-dipped in wax---mostly by me. Bottles are labeled one at the time on our little labeler right next to the tasting bar. Come see us!
