2005 Bennett Lane Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Napa Valley

Dark, extracted purple color. The nose shows cedar , cocoa powder and lots of black cherry notes. In the mouth this wine has a very balanced mix of fruit and mineral notes such as black currant, plumb, cedar and nutmeg. The tannins are very fine and well integrated. The fruit for this winner is sourced from the Taplin 2 block of Lewelling vineyard in St Helena and the Lynch Family Vineyard, from owner Randy and Lisa’s Estate in Calistoga. Elegant but plenty of fruit forward enjoyment as well. Outstanding. If you get the chance to visit the Napa Valley make sure you drop by their tasting room. It’s very relaxed and a fun time.
