The best wine Gus Anderson makes is his Latitude 38. The 2004
Latitude 38, a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, and the rest
Cabernet Franc, is a gorgeously elegant wine with beautiful, subtle roasted
herb notes intermixed with black cherry, cassis, licorice, and a touch of graphite.
The wine is clean, pure, medium to full-bodied, with nothing out of place. This
is a terrific wine that has the elegance and complexity of a great Graves. Tel. (707) 963- 4412; Fax (707) 963- 4489

2004 ESTATE GROWN LATITUDE 38 NAPA VALLEY
Latitude 38 is a Bordeaux
blend typical of those from the Pessac.
It is a propriety blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
In keeping with the contention that great wines have a sense
of place, Latitude 38 is so named such that if you were to go to Latitude 38
degrees 30 minutes north and Longitude 122 degrees 24 minutes west, you will be
in the place- center of our vineyards.
WINEMAKER’S NOTES
Our Latitude 38 is true Bordeaux blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29%
Merlot, and 18% Cabernet Franc. A wine with dense ruby-purple color and a nose that rises
majestically from the glass.
It fills your nose with the scent of black berries, black
currants, smoke and flowers.
This profoundly rich and elegant wine displays a wonderful
mouth feel of black fruits, white pepper and sweet, ripe tannins. It is
extremely well balanced and the flavors linger for 45 seconds or more – begging
for another taste.
