2004 Futo Proprietary Red Wine

A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot from Tom Futo (who owns gorgeous vineyards in the foothills of the Mayacamas mountains, just below Harlan Estate), this dense ruby/purple-colored 2004 reveals superb aromas of spring flowers, blueberries, black raspberries and black currants. The texture is sensational, and the wine is full-bodied, powerful and long. Combining elegance, finesse and power, it is one of the superstars of the vintage. Still a baby at age 10, this profound wine should evolve for at least two more decades. www.futo-wines.com
