  This was so good! I wish it wasn't my last bottle. Need to find me some more Neiman.

  Visited with Drew Neiman in November. This was one of the vintages we purchased. And although this was very good, we did not enjoy as much as '06 which I thought was spectacular.

  This is my first taste of a Neiman wine. I bought two bottles back in 2009 (after we met Mr. Neiman at Caldwell Vineyards), and have let them sit in our cellar. Well, there's at least one thing for sure: the Neiman wines have a reputation for being designed for aging, and it's clearly a well-earned reputation. Going strong for a 2004 Cali cabernet. This wine defines an elegant Cabernet with great structure and presence. Everything just fits well together, and works. When poured, you see a beautiful, deep color, that is nearing opaque. Bouquet is classic, but understated, cabernet, with a background of small spring flowers, freshly cut evergreen wood, autumn fruits and some soft leather. Texture is ever so smooth, but not overly rich. Just balanced. Taste lingers for 30-45 seconds. And the taste: well-proportioned flavors of blue fruits, vanilla, oak, some mint, and good dark chocolate, with almost an overlay of faint, red fruit acidity. As I said, nicely balanced and elegant. I wish I had more than one bottle left. No rush to drink the last one.
