2004 Yverdon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

 2004 Yverdon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon ~  A new bottling from the winery, made from vines grown 2,000 feet up the mountain that were planted only in 2001.  It's far too immature to drink now or anytime soon.  The tannins are thick and on lockdown, the blackberry, cassis and cherry fruit all primary and not yet integrated with the oak.  But these parts are high-quality and need time to mesh and develop.  Best after 2010 through 2016 and beyond.  Cellar Selection.

2004 Wurtele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a great vineyard that has sourced great Cabs for Terra Valentine.  A barrel sample of the '04, tasted more than 2 years ago, showed ageability.  Now that it has been released, the wine is still very young and filled with potential.  Thick in black currents, cherries and oak, it needs much more time.  Best after 2010.  Cellar Selection
