The 2004 4 Barrel is once again composed of the four finest barrels from the Cohn, Kanzler, Koplen and Amber Ridge vineyards. All of these vineyards are in Sonoma County. The richness and complexity of the vintage makes this a wine worth cellaring for 1-6 years.
Black cherries are the predominate aroma with a background of blackberry and cedar. Hints of black licorice offer a spicy nuance to the rich bouquet.
Juicy yet rich black cherry, plum and cocoa form the core of the mid-palate. Deep toast, vanilla and coffee provide a pleasing structure which supports the elegant black fruit. Lingering stonefruit is backed by the elegant acid as the finish lingers.
