2005 Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District |
||||||||
 2005 brought us wines with outstanding character due to the long, cool summer. Our Black Label Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet aged in 70% new French oak barrels for 20 months and bottle-aged for 14 months prior to release. The integrated aromas of cigar box, rose petals and cassis linger in this classic, Old World-style Cabernet as you taste the wine. Dusty tannins highlight the ripe plums, leather and brambly notes. Hints of fi g and bittersweet chocolate powder linger on the palate as the wine expands into an outstanding finish. The complexity and balance of this wine make it enjoyable now, in its youth, but you will be rewarded if you lay it down and enjoy this wine in a few years as the dense flavors soften and integrate. Cases produced: 1024 cases |
