Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2007

Bright medium ruby. Cassis, blueberry, nutty oak and a whiff of camphor on the nose. Juicy, primary and intense, with superb cut to the dark berry and spice flavors. Very young, brisk wine with a serious tannic spine and impressive spicy persistence. This bottling has been getting steadily stronger in recent years.

Score 92/100 · Drink 2007-2022, Robert Parker, Dec 2006

The classic, opaque ruby/purple-tinged 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Peterson Family Vineyard exhibits a big nose of forest floor, smoke, licorice, cassis, and fudge. Dense, powerful, and moderately tannic, it may not be as flashy as many 2004s, but it is packed with fruit, glycerin, and power. Give it another year or so of bottle age, and drink it over the following 10-15. Previously recommended: 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Peterson Family Vineyard (94), 2003 Merlot Peterson Family Vineyard (91), 2003 Petite Sirah Peterson Family Vineyard (92). Tel. (707) 738-6187
