2005
From McKenzie-Mueller Vineyards
Prestigious Napa Valley winery specializing in premium wines and exceptional terroir expression.
In the glass, the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a deep garnet hue with aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and hints of cedar and tobacco. On the palate, layers of dark cherry, cassis, and blackberry unfold, complemented by notes of graphite, baking spice, and a touch of earthy minerality. The wine’s structure is firm yet supple, with finely integrated tannins and vibrant acidity providing balance and length. The finish is persistent and elegant, leaving impressions of dark fruit, cocoa, and subtle oak. This vintage demonstrates remarkable complexity and depth, rewarding both immediate enjoyment and further cellaring.
