From the Winery
Winemaking is a combination of art and science, cooking and chemistry. It’s about the quality of the ingredients and the interplay of flavors, texture and technique. The grapes for this blend came from growers we have worked with for years. The blend was done by taste. This style of blending has its roots in centuries of Bordeaux winemaking and our more than 35 years of experience in blending wines.
Tasting Notes
When we talk about wine, we talk about where we taste it on our palate, in addition to what it tastes like. Wine writers like to compare the flavor to other fruits and rather esoteric flavors such as wood, tar, tobacco, etc. Each grape flavor in our blend focuses on a particular region of the palate. This is our art. It’s what we like best about making wine! It sets us apart from the big industrial wineries, which make wine by recipe and don’t take the time to taste and blend. You can taste our art as well as our passion.
Our 2004 North Coast Cabernet Sauvignon represents boldness married to elegance.
This is a Meritage-style Cabernet, with fruit-forward balance. The Cabernet flavors are mellowed and rounded by the blending and extended 36-month barrel aging. Merlot and Pinot lovers alike enjoy this Cabernet! Robert continues to perfect this blend with each new vintage, and it continues to be the "buy on the bar."
