2005 Blend from Napa Valley

5 Stars VineSugar

Intoxicating aromas of dense black fruit, cassis, clove, smoke and tight oak integration. Silky smooth entry with layers of black cherries and cassis flavors leading to a deep structure and bold tannins. A long, lingering finish of sweet, leather spices, lively black berries, herbs and chewy chocolate flavors. There's a soft acidity that makes my mouth water for more and the chewy tannins linger all those luscious flavor nuances long after the sip. Considering the price-point, this an amazing wine that could easily lay down for a few more years or be consumed by those not afraid of big, bold, red blend.
