Cain Vineyard & Winery Five 2004
|
|
BN#224064 |
The 2004 Cain Five epitomizes the character of the Cain Vineyard: freshness and vibrancy are the keys. Aromas of citrus and Douglas-fir overlay the black currant and black cherry of our mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. The palate is juicy, sweet, and mouth-watering. As always, we blend to achieve balance and continuity on the palate, followed by a long finish. While this wine drinks beautifully today, I expect the 2004 to age gracefully over the next ten years.
Long one of my favorite wines, the Cain Five 2004 version doesn’t disappoint … big and bold, yet refined and supple. Cain Five blends 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec to achieve balance and continuity, which in the 2004 they’ve achieved to perfection. The 2004 is in the mold of the 1991 and 1994 vintages, but more refined. The nose has aromas of citrus, pine and black fruit. The palate is juicy, sweet, and mouth-watering, with some hints of dark chocolate. This wine is the perfect for that very special dinner. Although beautiful if consumed today, it’d also benefit from cellaring 3-6 years.
