Meeker 2004 Kiss Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Diamond Mountain)
-
$85
Shows rich, firm mountain tannins and well-ripened, concentrated flavors of blackberries, cherries, currants and cocoa, and is thoroughly dry. But the wine loses a few points for hot caramelization, which may be partly over-charred oak and partly shriveled, overripe berries, if not both.
