Lancaster Estate '04 Cabernet Sauvignon 98 points

Lancaster Estate 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley); $65

WOW 98 Points! Lancaster burst on the scene with enormous buzz, before they had really earned it. Steadily but surely, they’ve built up the wine, and the ’04 is the best ever. It’s a gorgeous Cab, softly complex, rich in cassis, cherry, spice and oak flavors anchored with warm and earthy tannins. In fact, the earthiness stands it in good contrast to Napa Valley, making it wholesome and complete. Drink now if you can find it and enjoy!
