What to Expect

California's Napa Valley has been a source of world-class Cabernet Sauvignon for well over a century. Its warm climate and varied terrain allows for many styles of wine. One thread that runs through almost all the Cabernet based wines from Napa is their lush, ripe full-bodied feel and rich flavors of currant and berry. Wines from the valley floor, particularly around Rutherford, are famed for a dusty quality and those coming from the hillsides surrounding the valley, Mt. Veeder, Diamond Mountain and Howell Mountain for example, tend to be a little leaner with more obvious structural elements.

Winemakers Notes

Tasting Notes
Our 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a fascinating mélange of aromas, including ripe black fig, blackberry, cassis, caramel, and mocha. On the richly textured palate, the wine’s intense black fruit flavors take on brambly spice, roasted coffee and dark chocolate tones, leading to a long, savory finish. Firmly structured and packed with layers of luxurious flavor, this lavishly endowed Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a treat now with grilled red meats and other hearty dishes, but will develop beautifully in the bottle for another 5-7 years.

You will not be disappointed for certain!! Exactly what a 2005 calif cab should taste like - give it another couple of years and it will be perfect!! FYI 2004 was not as good - If in California take the time to visit - they are extremely accomodating and cannot offer you more - loads of fun too!

A bit green. Nose and palate a little harsh. Felt the tannins from the back to the front of my mouth.

I expect a lot from Cakebread and the 2005 vintage. This wine is good but not as good as I hoped. Typical Napa Cab. Lots of ripe fruit in the nose with some woodiness (cedar?) and smoke. Nice long finish and robust flavors but think this would be better in a year or two.

Oaky and spicy yet very smooth on the palate. We sipped this wine with dark chocolate chips and it was DIVINE!
