| The roots of Crystal Basin Cellars are in cooperative winemaking, beginning in 1981, and CBC has changed considerably since its inception. Crystal Basin Cellars grew from a small cooperative, to a large cooperative, to what it is today, a small commercial venture. Though much has changed, much has remained constant. Chief among the constants is the passion to make the highest quality wine possible. | Camino, CA

Cabernet Sauvignon
|
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon - El Dorado Reserve
El Dorado County
This Cabernet Sauvignon benefits from the addition of 5% Merlot, also from the Gold Hill Vineyard. The rich cocoa scents and low tannins complement the Bordeaux-style fruit finish. ... more This wine has classy varietal character with powerful berry flavors and an almost chocolaty finish.
The wine is unusually approachable for a Cabernet Sauvignon still in its youth and will improve in the cellar until at least 2009 and beyond while maintaining its intense varietal character.
