description: Vine Cliff is in the serious Cabernet business, crafting Cabs that aim for early drinkability but long ageability. The '04 is a success. It may lack the extra edge for profundity, but is delicious now for its oaky flavors of black currants, cassis, plums and mocha. Yet such are the tannins and acids that it should easily negotiate the next ten years, if not longer.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
