2004 Broadley Vineyard

2004 Broadley Vineyard Wine Details
Price:

Description: Big nose of super ripe black cherries, ripe black plums, and dusty blackberries followed by earthy, fresh mushroom-like aromas interlaced like a mincemeat pie picnic on the dense Coast Range during the early fall. Under these traditional aromas, it exhibits exotic toffee candy with nutmeg and vanilla, perhaps due to barrel influence. Quite the complex nose to say the least. In the mouth, flavors kick in under the long-chain tannins. Blood oranges and sweet cherries dominate but cinnamon and cardamom finesse. Similar to Amarone, due to the ripeness of the fruit. Rich, lush, and fat in the mouth. Finishes with nice ripe tannins and a lingering flavor of raspberry and fig compote—if such a thing exists. A flamboyant wine in a more modern style. Unlike the 2003 Broadley, this wine is ready to drink now. 44 cases produced
