This 2005 vintage is a remarkable expression of the varietal, displaying a full-bodied profile that envelops the palate with layers of dark fruit flavors, such as blackberry and black currant, harmoniously intertwined with elegant notes of cocoa and subtle spice. The acidity is perfectly balanced, contributing to a refreshing character while enhancing the wine's overall structure. Rich tannins lend a firm foundation, supporting the wine's depth and allowing it to age gracefully. Being dry yet approachable, this Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent companion for hearty dishes and is sure to impress at any gathering.

It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
