Mike and Nicole Duffy of Optima (Fitch Mountain is their second label) are responsible for this gem. A bigger, bolder version of the 2003, the 2004 is loaded with tons of black currant and black cherry fruit flavors blending into a fine veil of rich yet soft tannins. A little green pepper upfront but comes around in the midpalate with solid blackberry and currant. It finishes long, spicy and memorable. A great value/price! Drink now or set aside for 3-5 years
