Note di degustazione
The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon is composed of 75% Cabernet with the balance made up of four other Bordeaux grapes. It, too, was aged for 28-32 months in 60% new French oak. It displays an alluring bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, spice box, violets, and black currant. In the mouth, it is a bit more structured than the Red Wine cuvee while also revealing a Bordeaux-like personality. Give it 4-6 years of additional bottle age and drink it from 2013 to 2021. Corliss Estates’ first vintage was 2003. These 2004s are the current releases because of the winery’s policy of giving the wines extra time in bottle and barrel. The winery operates out of a splendid renovation in the center of the city of Walla Walla, just another example of how the wine industry has revitalized a once-dying town. It is a recommended stop for wine tourists. Tel. (509) 526-4400; www.corlissestates.com

Deep ruby-red. Classic cabernet-dominated aromas of currant, minerals, herbs and pepper. Then gripping and precise in the mouth, with terrific cut and perfume to its berry and mineral flavors. Finishes with firm but fine tannins and superb lingering perfume. A very solidly structured cabernet that should gain in complexity and texture for a decade or two.
