2004 Syzygy
Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley (WA), $32
This is pure Cabernet from older vines, and has a meaty, herbal power to it. Streaks of tar and some lively cinnamon spice add life to the fruit, which is solid and earthy. I pick up black licorice, vanilla cream, and still more interesting flavors wrapped into the tannins, which seem dusty and smoky and a bit grainy. This has some real substance to it, and shows some of the herbal side of the grape. The best so far from SYZYGY. — P.G. (12/1/2007)

"
The (SYZYGY) 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the Conner Lee and Sagemoor vineyards and spent 21 months in French oak. Purple-colored, it reveals aromas of pain grille, cassis, black cherry and blackberry. Made in a forward style, the wine has a supple texture, spicy flavors, good depth, and nicely integrated tannins. This attractive Cabernet can be enjoyed now but should evolve for several years and drink well through 2020." 89 Pts
