2004 Sloan Asterisk Red

"Talk about coming out with a Big Bang! Stuart Sloan, the Seattle businessman, has hit both gold and home runs with his extraordinary vineyard perched high on a hill above the renowned restaurant/hotel complex of Auberge du Soleil. A 60-acre estate only partially planted in vines, with David Abreu handling the viticulture and Martha Levy (wife of Bob Levy) making the wine, this is as impressive a new operation as I have ever witnessed." - Wine Advocate
