Mother Nature reduced the crop of 2004 but what wonderful fruit she gave us. Our fruit is farmed organically on the same 9 vineyards we’ve sourced since the 2001 vintage. Natural fermentations driven by the indigenous yeast from each vineyard let the wines develop characters that reflect the soil where the fruit was grown. Extended macerations averaging 45 days shape the majority of mountain tannins into a rich, approachable texture. Aged in our cave for 22 months in our spice rack of predominately new French oak creates the final product.<br /> <br />Tastings four months after bottling showed intensely aromatic flavors, full of toasty blackberry, vanilla, cherry candy and oak. In the mouth, it has a beautiful balance of power and elegance, concentrated and integrated with layers of fruit (cassis, chocolate, tobacco and black cherry) and a long finish. It is a wine full of great Cabernet Sauvignon varietal characteristics, yet very approachable considering the mountain fruit sources.<br /> <br /><b>HARVEST DATES:</b> September 4, 2004 through October 12, 2004<br /><br /><b>VINEYARD LOCATIONS:</b> Howell Mountain (3 sites, organically grown), Atlas Peak, Mt.
