The 2005 Cabernet delivers a profusion of aromas that creates a seductive perfume – anise, oregano, red cherry, blackberry, sage, earth and leather notes. On the palate, the wine is balanced and structured, supported by fine, layered tannins and an elongated finish.

Winemaker’s Comments

Additional Notes

The 2005 vintage gave us graceful wines of stature and quality. In many ways, it bears a marked resemblance to the bountiful 1997 vintage. The growing season began with plentiful springtime rainfall and cool temperatures that slowed veraison. Summer temperatures were very warm with a few heat spikes in July, followed by moderate weather through November, allowing for slow and even ripening. Harvest began on September 20 – more than a month later than 2004 – and concluded with a final day of picking on November 8.
