Tasting notes
The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Treva’s Vineyard is a slightly bigger wine (15.2% natural alcohol) and has an almost inky purple color to the rim. Its great concentration ratchets up the level that exists in the Jake’s Creek to a surreal, even sublime quality. This is stunningly rich, with crème de cassis, blackberry, cedar wood, licorice and incense. This wine is full-bodied, multidimensional and still quite youthful and backward. Nevertheless, it’s locked and loaded, so to speak, very full, opulent and promising. This is one of the vintage’s great wines and capable of lasting another two decades.

The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Treva’s Vineyard shows its mountain structure through full-bodied, powerful, black currant flavors intermixed with some loamy soil notes, cedar, and spice box. Pure, dense, rich, and backward, give it another 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it over the following two decades. Previously recommended: 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Jake’s Creek Vineyard (90+), 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Treva’s Vineyard (94). Tel. (707) 942-1513; Fax (707) 942-5301
Good bright medium ruby. Deep, rocky aromas of black fruits, cocoa powder and minerals. Concentrated and vibrant, with an energetic, dense core of sweet berry fruit nicely framed by ripe acidity. This expands impressively in the mouth, then finishes chewy and long, with black fruit and licorice flavors and broad, suave, mouthdusting tannins.
