One of the best wines I've had. Vanilla/Butter/Oak/Toffee on the nose w/ complex berries in the middle ending w/ a superb, lasting finish. Needs a few more years in the cellar to even out the tannins, otherwise a great bottle of vino. Had alongside the '04 Macauley and it more than stood it's ground. I have yet to have a bad '05- this was one of the better ones I've had (along w/ Schrader CCS)

Vanilla, oak, creme de casis, blackberry...a slight variation from the traditional california cab. Excellent bottle of wine- especially considering the price. Have 2 more bottles and can't wait to have another. Have yet to drink a bad 2005 cab.

Good Brunello...dark fruits abound, smooth wine. Missing depth of flavor, but a good experience. Would probably go for the reserve next time.
