2004 Mercury Head Cab
The 2004 Mercury Head cabernet sauvignon from Napa Valley is a delicious full bodied cab evidencing lots of ripe fruit (cherry, berries), subtle oak and outstanding structure.
I served this last night, Valentine’s Day, for Gloria and I to enjoy alongside a grilled lean ribeye and grilled asparagus. The wine was definitely the hit of the meal. It just got better and better as the evening progressed.
I checked the winery’s web site and the 2004 is sold out, so get to your favorite liquor store/wine merchant and pick some up before it too late. I know we will. About $75 - $80.
