The 2004 Sammarco is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot and 5% Sangiovese. It exhibits a dark purplish color, along with a wonderfully fragrant nose of spices and violets. It is a rich, powerful effort packed with an array of blueberries, blackberries and grilled herbs...This gorgeously pure wine should drink effortlessly to age 25. A recent bottle of the 1988 was still youthful and full of life. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Amazingly fresh, layered, mineral-infused and so very elegant, hitting its prime time drinking window right now. For sure, this great wine will cruise another 10+ years. Easy 95 points.

Tannins softening secondary notes starting to appear. Lots of life left

Clearly a well made wine, but not quite firing on all cylinders just yet. Tannins a bit chunky and nose not quite giving a ton. Perhaps should have given it a long decant...
