The dark ruby/purple-tinged 2004 Xtant exhibits a sexy bouquet of chocolate, smoked herbs, black currants, and blackberries, full body, nicely integrated tannin, acidity, wood, and alcohol, and a seductive, long finish. It, too should drink beautifully for 10 or more years.

This small estate turns out around 1,000 cases of each of the following wines. Their flagship cuvee is a Cabernet Sauvignon from St. Helena vineyards.
