The aromas of wild cherries, blackberries, forest floor, Asian spices and minerals dominate the nose completely in this wine. Concentrated flavors of cherry, blackberry, and cardamom are complemented by the rich grape and toasty oak tannin in the finish. The sweetness in the finish makes this a much more complex wine than past vintages.
—Winemaker Bob Cabra
Following a labor-intensive growing season due to early spring rains, a cool summer and mild fall weather extended the ripening season in 2005. This long, slow maturation period permitted flavors and color to develop to high levels, and the absence of weather threats or temperature extremes allowed fruit to be picked at optimum ripeness. The fruit quality was extremely high, contributing to balanced and elegant wines with concentrated flavors and intense color.
