  June 1, 2020 - Tasted this as part of a virtual tasting with Kunde winemaker Zack Long. He took us through the current SB, Chard, Merlot and CS releases and we took the opportunity to pop one of our remaining 2005 Reserve Cabs. I opened it about 1/2 hour before the event; cork was in excellent condition; beautiful color with no sediment; as it warmed from cellar temperature it opened, exhibiting a nice oak/cedar nose; dark cherry/boseberry on the palate with mild tannins on a legnthy finish. Pleased with how this bottle has aged.

  June 9, 2018 - This 2005 vintage got still better. Glad to have another 2 bottles resting in the wine room.

  December 9, 2017 - Round and rich, with the expected amount of vanilla oak present. Surprisingly good level of acidity, with a juicy finish.
