New release March 2007 Marcus's Tasting Notes: This deep and complex Cab begins with aromas of black fruits and cedar incense, with little hints of dark chocolate and roasted coffee blossoming with time. Layers of black raspberry, blackberry, cassis, and black plum unwind and are wrapped with mocha and black pepper. The tannins soften with time, so either pair this with a hearty slab of red meat or give a little time in cellar. A real mouthful of Cab!

TASTING NOTES 2004 VINTAGE

The winemaker, Peter Rosback, says: "Every year we're more impressed with the fruit we get off Terry McDuffee's vineyard. Tiny black berries, bursting with flavor, from a vineyard that is cropped at less than two tons per acre. The wine is dark, intensely flavorful, with leather and tar components and a long finish."

The wine is intense. Lots of bacon fat, smoke, big toasty espresso bean, dense black cherry, long long finish. This vintage, it's a combination of fruit from McDuffee Vineyard and Rosa Vineyard.
