Note di degustazione
Bright ruby-red. Deeply pitched aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant and nutty, smoky oak. Chewy, dense and sweet but tightly wound. Like the Artist Series wine, this finishes with substantial tongue-coating tannins that seem to derive as much from wood as from the grapes. But the density and sweetness of the wine suggest that it will merit a higher score with extended bottle aging.

The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon – Old Vines (35 years of age) elevates the bar. Composed of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, it is opaque purple-colored and delivers a superb perfume of pain grille, scorched earth, espresso, black currants, and blueberries. This is followed by an extracted wine with richly flavored dark fruits, outstanding concentration, and great balance leading to a 60-second, pure finish. Give this powerful wine 4-6 years of additional bottle age and drink it through 2035. Tel. (509) 525-4129; www.woodwardcanyon.com
