Barnett Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
This deeply purple wine is extremely aromatic, with large amounts of black raspberry, crushed violet spice, and cocoa nibs as well as underlying vanilla cedar spice. The palette is rich with ripe cassis and tobacco spice, as well as a dusty black earth character. The tannins are firm and chalky with crisp mountain acidity to balance. More raspberry and fennel linger on the long finish. The wine is very young still and could be consumed so with hearty food, or left to develop beautifully over the next 9-12 years. Wine Spectator Rich and intense, with a tight focus on supple currant, herb, anise, sage and cedary oak, all folding together on the finish, where the layers of flavors start to unfold and reveal their complexity. Best from 2010 through 2016. Score: 91. —James Laube, June 15, 2008. |
