| Winemaker’s Notes: |
Paso Robles has long been renowned for its world-class Cabernet Sauvignons, and our 2005 vintage certainly validates the reputation. Very dark in color, it boasts an enticing, sophisticated nose of ripe blackcurrant, black cherry and dark berry fruit, with distinctive scents of dark chocolate, cedar, black olive and sweet oak contributing complexity. On the palate, the wine's rich, well-integrated, dark fruit and vanilla oak flavors combine to create a lush, mouthfilling impression, with crisp underlying acidity propelling the long, savory finish. This wine will age beautifully in the bottle for 8-10 years.
