Tasting notes
This is an equal-part blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Good, dense fruit as well as some toasty new oak and spice jump from the glass of this dark ruby/purple-colored wine. Approachable and showing well, this 2005 is medium to full-bodied, ripe and very well-made. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.

Slightly leafy on the nose and even more so on the palate, but not at all green. Fresh with just the right fruit weight to support the structure – shows a welcome lightness of touch. (JH)
Excellent glowing deep crimson. Lots of acidity on the nose. Relatively simple and raw. Lots of grip and structure but not an awful lot of flesh or charm. Nicely balanced, well-mannered. Good freshness and well-judged oak considering only medium weight of the fruit though there is no shortage of acidity… (JR)
