The tannins are firm and structured, providing a delightful backbone that supports the wine's complexity and depth. As it lingers, the pronounced fruit intensity shines through, offering a mouthwatering experience that makes it a versatile choice for food pairings or enjoying on its own. The 2005 vintage showcases the exceptional quality of Napa Valley's terroir, making this Cabernet Sauvignon a memorable delight.

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.
