2004 Sherwin Family Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District, USA

Winemaker Notes

Sherwin Family Vineyards in the Spring Mountain district of Napa Valley was started in 1996 by Steve and Linda Sherwin, a Bay Area couple with an interest in winemaking. The 30-acre property they purchased came with 2.5 acres of well-established vineyards. In 1999 the Sherwins released their debut commercial wine, a 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon. Steve Sherwin eventually cleared another 14 acres for vineyards and today the estate is known for its Cabernet Sauvignon and Cab/Merlot blend, called Cobalt.

Rated 93 Points Wine Spectator
A big, rich, intense and tightly focused style, with layers of red cherry, wild berry, earth, mineral and savory herbs and spices. Picks up a nice touch of anise and ends with firm, ripe, integrated tannins, with a dash of cedary oak.
