Cain &#8216;Five&#8217; refers to the fact that the wine contains all five Bordeaux red grapes, and it&#8217;s an elegant, rather European-styled wine, made from grapes grown on Spring Mountain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cain Five 2004 Napa Valley<\/strong><br \/>\nElegant. Brooding nose showing a bit of evolution: subtle green leafiness, tar, spice, plums and blackcurrant. The palate has a lovely elegant green character offsetting the nicely weighted plum, cherry and blackcurrant fruit. There&#8217;s sweetness and lushness, but also elegance and freshness, as well as subtle earth and mineral notes. Drinking perfectly now. Superbly balanced. There may be just a hint of Brettanomyces here, giving it a &#8216;European&#8217; character, but I&#8217;m not sure of this, and it certainly isn&#8217;t intrusive. 94\/100<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a soft spot for Cain.
