2004 Altamura Cabernet

Two days old, but still plenty of life in a half full bottle. Oxidation had begun, but black currant, berries, and bing cherries were still prevalent and the finish was more than enjoyable. Not to mention, it was a wonderful complement to the porterhouse, potatoes, broccoli, and sweet peas. A typical Napa Cabernet, but one that's definitely worthy of a repeat performance (WS: 91 pts). Currently, a Costco special, but as the powers that be, I scored this one for free (see below).

Addendum: Altamura's New England distributors also push Opus One.
