Summary

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Limited Reserve

Limited Cabernet Sauvignon is produced only in optimal years, when small lots of wine are blended to express the essence of classic, age worthy Napa Valley Cabernet. 2005 was that kind of year and only the 12th time since 1981 that we produced this beautiful wine.

Vintage Notes:

A wet beginning to the year and continued rainfall well into spring delayed bloom and fruit set. Cool weather throughout summer into September led to concern about ripening the large than normal crop. Fog lingered where warm weather would typically prevail to ripen grapes. Though later than normal, warm days arrived to start harvest in earnest.

Winemaking Notes:

Average Brix at harvest was 26.8o; moderate yields of 3.3 tons per acre translated into concentrated fermentation lots; 30 days maceration on skins; aged 17 months in Bordeaux style barrels, 36% new, 97% French oak.

Tasting Notes:

Dark red color. Aromas of tobacco, dried herbs, brandied fruit compote and savory spices. Medium to full bodied, a soft and broad mid-palate with integrated flavors of ripe red fruits and sweet oak. Silky, mouth coating finish.
