Note di degustazione
From a very small 4.5-acre estate at the base of the Mayacamas Mountains in St. Helena, this 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon represents only 565 cases. Soft, sweet, velvety tannins make the wine approachable. Dense ruby/purple, it offers up a nice perfume of black fruits, loamy soil notes and licorice. The wine is round and seems close to full maturity, yet the freshness and purity, as well as depth, suggest it will hold for another 8-10 years. A bit more length and aftertaste would have elevated this wine to outstanding.

Full, bright ruby-red. Expressive aromas of dark berries, mocha, truffle, licorice, smoke and tobacco. Sweet, lush and creamy but not at all sloppy, with a truffley note complicating the berry and tobacco flavors. Broad, ripe tannins won't get in the way of drinking this rather forward wine now, but it's balanced to age.
The three red wines include the impressive 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (539 cases of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon). Offering classic creme de cassis, licorice, scorched earth, and new oak characteristics, this nicely structured, medium to full-bodied red is built for 15-20 years of evolution. Karen Culler produces these limited production cuvees that are well-worth a search of the marketplace. Tel. (707) 963 6042; Fax (707) 963-4427
