2004 Wolf Family Cabernet Sauvignon Estate
UNITED STATES / CALIFORNIA / NAPA
Wine Spectator | Rating: 92
Ripe, intense and concentrated, with a firm tannic wall built around a dense, tasty core of dried currant, spice, hazelnut and fresh earth and pebble notes. Finishes with a compact mix of fruit and tannins. Decant for now. Should age well. 349 cases made.Author: James LaubeWine Advocate | Rating: 92
The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon may eclipse its Cabernet Franc sibling in 5-6 years, but at present it is backward and tannic. Dense blue/purple-colored to the rim, with notes of creme de cassis, scorched earth, tobacco leaf, smoke, and pain grille, this is an impressive, full-bodied, dense Cabernet.Author: Robert Parker

Vineyards are managed by Jim Barbour and winemaking is handled by Karen Culler, who began with the Wolfs in their premiere 1997 vintage.
