title: Martin Ranch 2004 Thérèse Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Cruz Mountains)
description: This winery seems to be trying to find an identity. The Cabs are vintage-driven, and do better in cool years, which 2004 wasn't. This wine is a little soft and direct, but delicious enough, with ripe, pastry-filling blackberry, cherry, boysenberry and chocolate flavors. You can taste high-char oak on the finish.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Thérèse Vineyards Estate
