Ballentine Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena Maple Lane 2005
Member Review by drdebs:
Amazing complexity, with intricate aromas of black cherry and fresh ground pepper. These notes follow through on the palate, along with an entire herb garden and spice cabinet of additional flavors, including vanilla, licorice, and mint.

Black Cherry, blueberries, and cracked black pepper allemanate from the glass. This wine is fruit forward, but hasluscious layers of spice. Anise, sage, cayenne, vanilla, andlicorice all come into play. Very full on the palate with nicebalanced tannins, the wine engages all of the senses. Thesoft acidity and silky smooth finish let the wine's finishlinger for quite some time.
