The 2004 vintage was an exceptional year for reds; dry, cool weather produced wines that delivered power, finesse, and complexity at much lower alcohol levels. In short, ripeness without sweetness, power without the heavy cloying hand of overripe fruit and alcohol. Warner Vineyard Shiraz is, in my opinion, the outstanding red wine of the vintage. Superior in every way to those trailblazing Shirazes from 2001 and 2002. This wine breaks new ground."Rick Kinzbrunner
