Winery Notes:
Crafting a Cabernet with dark dense color, richness and complexity, and
a bright fruitful nose is one thing. Combining that with elegance,
finesse, and superb balance is quite another.
In
2005, the growing season gave us every opportunity to accomplish both,
and this Cabernet is a beautiful illustration of an exceptional
vintage. It is absolutely complete, abundant, and balanced. Our own
Heather Hill Vineyard fruit is blended with Bacchus, Dionysus, Wallula,
Weinbau and a touch of Hedges Red Mountain.
This
wine has pretty aromas of ripe cherry, black briar berry, and a hint of
fresh fig. Its sleek structure frames a layer of sweet cassis, mountain
strawberry, and shaved chocolate. Wood spice and lustrous tannins are
in perfect balance and lead to a magnificent finish. |
