A masterfully aged Napa Cabernet that perfectly balances power with elegance.

The 2004 Special Selection opens with intoxicating aromas of crushed blackberries and dark chocolate ganache. On the palate, layers of cassis and espresso unfold with remarkable depth, while subtle vanilla notes from careful oak aging add complexity without overwhelming. The tannins have reached that sweet spot of maturityโ€”firm enough to provide structure yet refined enough to feel luxurious. The finish lingers with coffee bean and dark fruit concentration, suggesting this wine has gracefully entered its prime drinking window.
