-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bernardus Marinus
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon 69%, Merlot 20%, Cabernet Franc 6%, Petite Verdot 5%
2004, Central Coast, California

winemaker's notes:
Our 2004 Marinus exhibits a deep crimson color and appears nearly opaque. Aromas are redolent with ripe black plums and cherries accented by notes of spice and smoke with a hint of earth. The flavors of ripe red fruits and spice notes fill the palate. The texture is very full and rich with firm supporting tannins promising a long aging potential. The finish is very long with flavors that linger on and on.

Viader
Varietal: Cab Sauv 60%, Cab Franc 40%
2004, Howell Mountain.

Tasting Notes:
The 2004 Viader showcases the best the vintage has to offer: intense, upfront, floral bouquet laced with chocolate, coffee, anise, earth and leather. Lingering, complex tannins firm up in the finish which is rounded by the powerful aromas of blackberry, blueberry and mint. Although quite approachable now bottle aging will further develop bouquet and complexity. This powerful gem will continue to age superbly over the next two decades. Cheers! To a wonderfully elegant mountain beauty!
