A big, bold, rich and expressive style that packs in lots of flavor, yet manages to be elegant and stylish without being heavy. Deep, perfumed currant, floral, spice and berry flavors coat the palate, ending with ripe, integrated tannins. Drink now through 2014. 1,750 cases made. –JL

Vintage Comparison 2003 vs. 2004
Welcome to the No Brainer! The 2004 in a blind comparison killed the 2003, hands down. 2004 California Cabernets are splendid. The 2003 had harsh tannins and the 2004 achieved smooth tannins which helps make a wine great. It's hard not fall in love with this wine. We opened a second bottle for our customers and I put a case in my cellar.

VARIETAL COMPOSITION: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
VINEYARDS: The Hollywood & Vine 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from four very unique growing regions, all within Napa Valley. The fruit comes from the highest reaches of Mount Veeder, the Old Federal Vineyard on Oakville Bench (between the Tokalon and Harlan Estate), the historic J.J. Cohn estate in Rutherford, and from the steepest Spring Mountain slopes. Harvested in separate small lots between September 10th and 14th 2004, the vineyards were kept entirely separate in barrels for the first 6 months, then judiciously blended and allowed to “marry” for several additional months of aging before being lightly filtered for clarity previous to bottling in May of 2006.
BARREL AGING: Fermented on skins for approximately three weeks, then transferred to barrels (60% new French oak). The wine was aged in small oak for approximately 20 months.
ANALYSIS: Alcohol: 14.7% by volume
CASES PRODUCED: 1750 – 12 x.750ml cases: 36 cases - 6 x 1.5lt., 24 – 3lt.
RELEASE DATE: April 2007
WINEMAKER: Celia Masyczek

WINEMAKER NOTES: This ultra-ripe Cabernet shows the complexity of its multi-faceted origins. Bright black cherry and blackberry notes from Oakville and Rutherford dominate the aromas, as Spring Mountain’s trademark ripe plum and cedar/forest floor notes add complexity. Structurally, the wine shows the density of hillside fruit from Mt. Veeder and Spring Mountain, as well as the supple tannins of the benchland vineyards.
