Cabernet Sauvignon – 2004; Pillar Bluff Vineyards; Lampasas, Texas

What were you doing in 2004?  Waiting for this posting?  Well then, patience has paid off!  This 14-year-old Cabernet has aged well.  First, you will notice some fantastic custom artwork on the label. Second, you get the lovely aged ruby color of this beautiful red wine as you pour the first glass. Third, you wait a while longer before trying it because if you’ve waited this long to open it, you can wait another hour for it to “oxygenate”.  Forth, with the glass if ready, you take a big breath to inhale those well-preserved fruit aromas.  “Still good” says the nose.  Fifth, you finally take that first taste and savor its smoothness, the blackberry and blueberry notes and the well-balanced acids. Finally, you embrace your inner “ahhh” afterward when you realize how delightful that was. Pour another glass and do it all over again!  This red wine will make you a believer in Texas aged wines. Salute!
