The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon comes from two parcels; 55% of the grapes are from the estate’s Dry Creek Valley vineyards and the remaining 45% are from the Kreck family’s vineyards in the prestigious Alexander Valley. The grapes fermented in a combination of temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks and open top fermentors, and then aged for 14 months in French and American oak barrels to produce a classic California Cabernet Sauvignon. Fewer than 900 cases produced.

Tasting Notes:

This garnet-purple colored wine is bursting with blackberry jam and spice aromas. On the full-bodied palate, dark fruit, cassis, anise and leather notes predominate before a long spicy finish. Perfect for hearty red meat dishes, steaks on the grill, roasts and rich, tangy cheeses. Drink now through 2012. Open an hour before serving and decant to let it breathe.
