This 100% Cabernet is a classic example of Napa Valley: big, bold aromas of ripe, melt-in-your-mouth plums, berries and cherries are followed by hints of anise, sandalwood and vanilla. This full-bodied wine doesn’t sacrifice body or weight for smoothness.
This vintage produced a Cabernet Sauvignon with a slightly lighter color and a beautiful aroma of vanilla, black cherry, currants and blackberries. A burst of black cherry and blackberry greets you in the front of the palate. The tannins and acidity are finely balanced throughout the mid palate and is finishished with a hint a smoke and tobacco.
This is a remarkable and deeply delicious wine! It just works on so many levels. This is a wine of nearly perfect balance, with bright flavors, aromas and acidity. A big and juicy wine with character, great flavors and brilliant brightness. Its a fun wine with a serious side. Its bright acidity makes it a natural companion for a great meal. Of course, though, this wine has enough complexity and character to make it a really interesting and exciting wine to enjoy all on its own.
This wine combines Syrah and Cabernet Franc from the Sierra Foothills into a smooth Rhone blended wine. The style is the same as the 2004 Red Wine and it's complexity and character will continue to evolve. Barbeque wine with smooth complex flavors.
