2005 Cabernet Sauvignon

Buy This Wine

We produced this medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with grapes grown at the Ponderosa Vineyard, located at 1900’ elevation along the Sierra Nevada Mountains’ western slopes. This high elevation vineyard site yields fruit with unique tannin and flavor profiles, resulting in a well-balanced wine with compelling notes of dark fruits and earth.  Ponderosa Vineyard has been CCOF-certified organic since 1993.
 
Our 2005 Cabernet is comprised of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Cabernet
Franc. It is barrel-aged in high quality new French oak for 8 months prior to blending and bottling to provide a well- structured complex pallet.  
 
This wine pairs well with a wide range of savory dishes and ages well in the cellar.
