<H1>2005 Saratoga Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains -- Mount Eden Vineyards Shopping Cart</H1> $26.00 <IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/mounteden/images/CabCuvee05.JPG" ALIGN=right ALT="2005 Saratoga Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains" NAME="2005 Saratoga Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10> The 2005 Cuvée Cabernet is composed of seven separate vineyards in Saratoga and Los Gatos.  All the vineyards are under our complete control and are meticulously farmed. 2005 was a great vintage throughout California for Cabernet. A sunny but cool autumn brought in the various vineyards slowly and evenly during the month of October. Full complete ripening was effortless—a winemaker’s dream. The style, given our cool mountain climate, is directed towards complexity rather than power. With a blend of all five classic Bordeaux varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon (75%), Merlot (11%), Cabernet Franc (9%), Petit Verdot (3%), and Malbec (2%) this wine is aged a full two years in French and American barrels then gently bottled without any fining or filtration. Perfumes of “crème de cassis” and blueberry with a hint of oak on the nose, this Cabernet is fresh and savory on the palate with expansive fruit and moderate, sweet tannins. Drinkable now, this wine should age and acquire more complexity over the next five years. A great value for a hand-crafted California wine. <div align="justify"> </div> <o:p> </o:p> Total Production:  1,169 cases  <LI>SKU: NVSC05 Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Category1" TITLE="Current Releases">Current Releases</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product29 TITLE="2006 Estate Bottled Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains">2006 Estate Bottled Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains</A> -- Magnums also available <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product30 TITLE="2005 Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains">2005 Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product33 TITLE="2007 Edna Valley Chardonnay, Wolff Vineyard">2007 Edna Valley Chardonnay, Wolff Vineyard</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product35 TITLE="2007 Monterey County Chardonnay, Arroyo Seco">2007 Monterey County Chardonnay, Arroyo Seco</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product24 TITLE="2006 Saratoga Cuvée Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains">2006 Saratoga Cuvée Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product28 TITLE="2006 Saratoga Cuvée Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains">2006 Saratoga Cuvée Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product9 TITLE="Great Wines of America, By Paul Lukacs">Great Wines of America, By Paul Lukacs</A> -- A note worthy new book by Paul Lukacs, profiles forty vintners (Mount Eden included) which represent the pinnacle of American wine. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/mounteden/Product32 TITLE="Vineyards in the Sky: The Life of Legendary Vintner Martin Ray">Vineyards in the Sky: The Life of Legendary Vintner Martin Ray</A> -- Vineyards in the Sky is the lively biography of Martin Ray, the charismatic California vintner who launched America's Wine Revolution.
