I gave Five Star's 2004 Cabernet a double star (**) rating when I originally reviewed the wine at Holiday Barrel Tasting 2006, noting its rich fruit and long finish. The wine has only improved with a couple of years in the bottle.

** | Five Star Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley 2004 | An absolutely beautiful, evolving nose with black cherry, light earth, spices, anise, chocolate, and pleasing barrel notes. As the wine opens, cocoa powder and light herbal notes show through. Dances on the palate with a smooth entry with lots of fruit. Opens up and hangs on the finish. An exceptional wine. 95% Cabernet; 5% Merlot. 14.2% alcohol. 950 cases produced. | $30 |
