Written Notes

Dark ruby, beautiful nose, cherries, some warm fruits, blackcurrants, vanilla and spices. Fantastic mouthfeel, intense and full bodied, and still it manages to be elegant. Acidity cleans perfectly and ripe tannins. Very long finish, and a great wine. 91

The regal purple of 2004 Martha's Vineyard Cabernet in the glass is the perfect introduction to this exceptional vintage. 

Lavish varietal aromas and a signature twist of mint are followed by an exquisite mouthful of rich black cherry. This is Cabernet Sauvignon at its finest, produced with sun-ripened fruit from the legendary Martha's Vineyard. During our extended aging process, beautifully integrated French oak adds an appealing note of toasted vanilla. 

 This skillfully balanced Cabernet displays the elegant complexity of its noble heritage as it builds to a long, lovely finish --- impressive to drink now and certain to age gracefully.
