2004 Herb Lamb Cabernet Sauvignon

Colgin no longer produce wine from the Herb Lamb Vineyard, but the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb Vineyard, which was picked the last half of September, was a tiny crop of small berries. It shows lots of lavender, bay leaf, black currants and cedarwood. It is a relatively mature, medium to full-bodied, complex multi-layered, beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon with slightly more herbaceousness than the other cuvees. Drink it over the next decade. ||This spectacularly beautiful estate high on Pritchard Hill with magnificent views in just about every direction has been on a qualitative tear for many years. From their humble beginnings at the co-op Napa Wine Company (their first releases were in the early 1990s), to the construction of their winery and estate vineyard, quality has soared.||Tel.
