2005 Snowden Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
..."is dense, rich and concentrated, with a firm core of dried currant, mocha-laced oak, sage, mineral and hazelnut notes, finishing with a long, intense, focused and persistent finish. Best from 2010 through 2016." 91ptsJL
"The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon The Ranch is an outstanding example of Napa Cabernet at a realistic price point. Dark black currant fruit intermixed with some smoke, tobacco leaf, and licorice is followed by a ripe, medium to full-bodied wine with velvety texture, beautiful opulence, and a nice, natural mouthfeel. It should drink beautifully for 10-15 years." 90ptsRP
