This 2005 is what aficionados look for in Napa Valley Cabernet – ripe blackberries, sweet cherries, dark plums and chocolate. Nonetheless, it isn’t one-dimensional or over the top as many Napa Cabernets can be. This beauty manages to retain its elegance and finesse while delivering big powerful fruit flavors. This wine manages to so deftly balance extraction and grace. This wine will age at least a decade or more, but there’s no harm in popping the cork now.
