The precocious, impressive 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a soft, elegant, smooth style. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by plenty of black currant fruit intermixed with notions of sweet cherries, wood, and earth. This pretty Cabernet may not possess the complexity and depth of the 2002, but it offers an easy-going style as well as sweeter tannins than the 2003. Shafer Vineyards, one of the most impeccably run wineries in the world, is a wonderful family operation that deserves all the success they have earned. (Release date 3/07) Tel.
