A heady impression of blackberry, black cherry, sweet chocolate and smoke with underlying notes of tar and spice. The sensual nature of this wine, with its dark fruit and chewy tannins, leaves a satisfying impression of roguish elegance. If Rhett Butler were a wine, this would be it.

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.
