Note di degustazione
(15.2% alcohol) Ruby-red. Pure but tight aromas of blackcurrant, licorice, minerals and graphite. Sweet, dense and rich, with enticing flavors of dark berries, licorice and chocolatey oak. This and the Stags Leap bottling are aged in 50% to 75% new oak, while the Napa release gets just 25%. This struck me as a sweeter, longer, more concentrated version of the Napa Valley release.

The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville (80% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) has a dark ruby/purple-tinged color, and a crisp elegant style with cedar, spice box, black currant, and Chinese black tea. It is medium-bodied, rather tightly knit, and slightly austere, but with a satisfying finish. It should drink well for 10-15 years. Tel. (707) 226-1395 and (800) MONDAVI; Fax (707) 251-4386
Good deep ruby-red. Wild blueberry, coffee and menthol on the nose. Deeper and chewier than the Stag's Leap bottling, with dense, concentrated flavors of cassis and chocolate. Finishes with substantial but fine-grained tannins and lingering flavors of crushed currant and chocolatey oak.
