Titus Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2005

bright and lush, our 2005 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon displays aromas of cassis, blackberry preserve, geranium, violet, and crème brulée flushed with sweet oak spice. On the palate, an impressive, mouth-filling structure supports vibrant flavors of red cherry, cranberry and black currant. Layers of oak spice resonate with tones of coffee, toast and toffee that linger throughout the smooth finish. Recommended drinking time is three to four years from vintage, with about one hour of decanting prior to drinking. Maximum suggested aging is ten years from vintage.

Our fourth vintage of reserve Cabernet Sauvignon exudes the unique, chewy and rich varietal characters of our best estate Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. blending in a small amount of Petit Verdot elevates the wine’s elegant structure while a bit of Malbec and Cabernet Franc highlight the wine’s red fruit characters. This robust, red wine is firing on all cylinders - mouth coating and full bodied, elegant and lush. deep aromas of ripe blackberry, cherry and cassis are framed by layers of sweet and spicy oak, exotic allspice, smoky vanilla, mocha and milk chocolate. On the palate, the firm but round tannins balance the ripe fruit notes, espresso and sweet oak flavors. The recommended drinking time for our reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is four to six years from vintage, with an hour of decanting prior to drinking. The maximum suggested aging of this wine is ten to fifteen years from vintage.

Rich, dark and intense, this is well-focused on the currant and blackberry fruit. Its also well-structured, with firm tannins, yet the earthy Cabernet flavors flow through nicely.

vintage after vintage our Cabernet Franc balances lush notes of blue and black fruit against delicate hints of tea leaf and smoke in a velvety mouthful of wine. Our 2004 Cabernet Franc is complex, with bright intensity, round chewy tannins and a lengthy finish. rich aromas of blueberry, pomegranate and linden flower are complemented by secondary characters of black olive, cedar and vanilla. In the mouth, straightforward flavors of ripe strawberry and boysenberry are joined mid-palate by hints of smoky Earl Gray tea, black olive and violets that linger through the long finish.
