Notes on the Highlands Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2005 : WINEMAKER NOTES: Tasting Notes: A wine with a luscious fruity nose, full bright mouth of red fruits with hints of blueberries balanced with quality oak characters. A lingering pleasant finish melds with and carries rich food parings.
2005 brought unseasonably late spring rains that delayed flowering. The mid summer months were mild and pleasant with warming into early fall with nearly perfect ripening conditions. Absent the typical heat spikes harvest came late but with little consequence as the weather continued warm and dry allowing for extended hang time and concentration of flavors. The bountiful 2005 vintage is noted for its remarkable quality.
Winemaker Notes: The exceptional harvest conditions brought fruit to the winery needing little. This wine knew what it wanted to be. Winemaking simply provided the environment for this wine to express itself.
