I just found a this in my cellar and cannot remember buying it. Probably got it in Napa because it was with some other 2005’s I got there. This is a solid CA cab. I have a cellar of really good wine and when I pull a CA cab with this age I am always impressed. (May 2019) people should buy more CA cabs. I wish I had.

The wine looks Purple colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Black currant (cassis), Blackberry, and Vanilla. It tastes like Black currant (cassis), Black Pepper, and Forest floor. The body is Medium/Full. The wine has Smooth texture. The wine finishes Medium.

Been keeping this one in the cellar for a while. Enjoyed it. Red fruit comes through strong, tannin builds during the finish. Nose is a little muted, but a good QPR.

Nothing special, but nothing bad. A very solid bottle of callie cab (sans ultra alcohol and oak) at a reasonable price. Won't get any better at this point.

Purple. Blackberry,spice, vanilla oak and some black licorice. Nice weighty mouthfeel. Easy drinking, good value for 19 bucks. My last bottle.
