Pietra Santa 1999 Juliana Red Wine, Cienega Valley. Cellar Selection.
 3-6 Yrs
from
01/01/2004 |
Brilliant ruby red-violet hue. Coffee
grounds, black currant, black peppercorn, clove and oak aromas. Medium-full to
full-bodied, this is a ripe and spicy bottling that has firm tannins and
nicely integrated oak. A bit sharp now, so give this time to soften.

RATED: 88 points (Highly Recommended)
Vache 2000 Trois Red Wine, Cienega Valley.
 Now-3 Yrs
from
01/01/2004 |
Brilliant ruby red hue. Cedar, black cherry,
black currant, thyme, violet and oak aromas. Medium-full with very good
concentration, this is a wine that lingers on the palate and has a lengthy
finish with balanced tannins, precise acidity and a subtle earthiness. Very
subtle, but with lots of character and class!

Vache 2000 Estate Grown, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cienega Valley.
Now-3 Yrs
from
01/01/2004 |
Brilliant ruby red hue. Cherry, cedar,
cheesecloth and oak aromas. Medium-full, this is an herbal and earthy Cabernet
with ample oak, firm tannins and lively acidity. A very herbal style with big
fruit and a bit too much oak.
