About The Wine
Our 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon comes primarily from organic or sustainably-farmed vineyards along the benches, hillsides and mountains set in the morning shadow of the Mayacama Mountain Range. This area of eastern Sonoma County is ideal ground for Cabernet Sauvignon. It has the ability to fully ripen all of the Bordeaux varieties without sacrificing elegance and structure. Its best wines are noteworthy for their concentration, style and character.Tasting Notes
Our 2005 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is deep, dense and highly aromatic. The nose is saturated with plums, cassis, currants, vanilla, earth and toast. The palate is intense and well supported by finely integrated tannins and balanced acidity. As with many of our Cabernet Sauvignons, this wine drinks beautifully in its youth and should continue to improve over the next decade.Wine Details
