Bent Creek, 2004 Livermore Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

For a Livermore Cab, this wine is very good and a great value. It will hold its own with any of the mid range cabs from Napa (e.g. Silver Oak, Caymus, Hall) at half the price. Great fruit, good nose, and a nice soft and long finish. I didn't think wine this good came out of Livermore.

From the winery tasting notes;

The clear ruby color of this classic wine captures your attention. Intense fruit aromas blend with a hint of oak. Rich dark fruit flavors of blackberry and black cherry join soft tannins to create an appealing Cabernet. Barrel aged 18 months in French oak.Gold Medal 2007 San Francisco Chronicle Wine CompetitionGold Medal 2007 California State Fair Wine Competition Best In Class Greater Bay Area
