Winemaker's Notes Roth Cabernet Sauvignon is an expression of its Alexander Valley origin. The 2005 vintage has aromas of vanilla, ripe cherry and cinnamon, with flavors of raspberry jam, cocoa and red fruit. Our 2005 Roth is an accessible and evenly structured Cabernet with a long, elegant finish.

2005 Vintage
We experienced a wet winter with an early March bud break. Spring and early summer rains led to a long, cool, and even growing season. The additional length on the vine resulted in soft, full flavors, with balanced acidity and moderate alcohol. 2005 was an excellent vintage - delivering classic, well structured Cabernet.

- June 2007
- Nothing special about this wine. It's a pretty standard cab except for the nose, which reminded me slightly of beets. Go figure.
- June 2007
- A very hot nose and an alcoholic mouth too. Some nice fruits, dark deep cherry and blackberry. A nice finish on integrated tannins.
