2005 Hozhoni Vineyard, Rutherford AVA Cabernet Sauvignon
“Dried spice and cigar box aromas mingle with mixed berry and fresh black plum. Rich and elegant, the polished tannins are sweetened with unctuous cassis, black fruit, and mocha flavors. The velvety texture ensures immediate gratification, while the power and structure reward the collector.” – Mike McGrath, Winemaker
