Very ripe aromas of raspberry, boysenberry, roses, sassafras and espresso fill your nose. Rich, ripe tannins roll across the palate with flavors of wild berry, dark chocolate, sage, black truffles and toasty oak. The finish on this wine is long and sexy.
—Winemaker Bob Cabral
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.
