The Wine: As with the multiple award winning 2003 & 2004, this edition of our Bordeaux-style blend is a classic. Following in the Bordeaux tradition, the addition of Merlot serves to round, soften and deepen the flavors and aromas of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark berry fruit aromas with a hint of cedar and spice draw one into a richly textured, full flavored wine. In the mouth, dark fruits, cherry and plum are accented with the barrel derived flavors of vanillin and dark roasted cocoa bean. Luscious tonight, this wine will gain in subtlety and depth over the next 5-8 years.
