85 points "Color: dark; Nose: discreet; Acidity: supple; Body: tannic; Overall: slighly unbalanced; NOT AS FULL BODIED AND SMOOTH AS THE 2002. Nose lacked fruity richness. Taste was full cab flavor, but lacked complexity and smoothness expected from Backus. " Best 2011-

95 points "Made in a sexy, seductive, flamboyant style, the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Backus Vineyard includes small amounts of Petit Verdot and Malbec in the blend. An inky/purple color is followed by a big, opulent, full-throttle bouquet of graphite, blackberries, and acacia flowers. With fabulous fruit purity, richness, and a savory, expansive, full-bodied mouthfeel, it should provide immense pleasure over the next two decades. " Best 2006-2026
