Frank Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Tasted this wine at the Snooth Panel tasting:

First wine of the second flight. My favourite wine of this flight. Nice balanced wine with good tannin structure and some spice. Good fruit, mouth feel and consistency.

The 2005 Frank Family Vineyard�s Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon exposes its depth immediately with its dense dark purple color. The aromas are bountiful, brimming with juicy brambleberries and ripe black cherries that are laced with notes of smoke and roasted espresso and followed by hints of tobacco, earth and cedar. The palate is opulent and intense, bursting with ripe blackberries and currants, with just a touch of sage. The rich fruit is balanced with complex tannins providing a plush, yet firm mouthfeel that is round and supple with lasting depth.

Very smooth- I have found Frank Family wines to be universally good.

I am a french Canadian and I love good wine.
A friend from the state brought a botlle of Cabarnet Sauvignon 2005 as a gift.
I usually drink French Grand Cru wine.
I was very impress.
It has a the nice aroma and texture.
This is an excellent wine, to bad we don't have it here in Quebec.

My pick of the blind tasting - a fantastic wine, very soft, supple, elegant and smooth. Clearly a blend (with some merlot?). Very very nice.

Sweet fruit, with some green bell pepper tones which balances it out. Overall I think this was the top, or 2nd to top wine between the 8 of us for the tasting
