The 2005 Altamura Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon shows similar characteristics of our spectacular and highly rated 1999 and 2002 vintages. Our 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon may be one of our most concentrated and intense wines to date. The deep inky purple is stunning; the nose of blueberry, cassis and ripe plum is unmistakably Napa Valley Cabernet at its best. This opulent wine is elegant and expansive with a tapestry of juice fruit. The soft tannins seamlessly carry these layers of flavor and texture through the long finish and refuse to leave the palate. Robert Parker - 94 Points!! I was blown away by the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon, which spent almost 34 months in 70% new French oak barrels. The wine is beautifully impressive, with a deep ruby/purple color and notes of loamy soil intermixed with creme de cassis, cedar, and licorice. The wine is full-bodied, powerful, but beautifully nuanced and nicely structured, with sweet, silky tannins. This wine should evolve for at least 20 or more years. |
