Showket Vineyards

1288 visitors

The vineyard, which is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sangiovese experiences slightly cooler temperatures in the summer then the valley floor and slightly warmer ones in the winter. Because of the elevation and orientation of the vineyard no frost protection is required. The soil is clay-loam type that is very rocky. The vines are stressed sufficiently to produce excellent wines. The tonnage is considerably less than what vines produce on the valley floor giving intensity in flavor that can only be produced in such a pristine hillside vineyard.

2005 Asante sana
Oakville

The 2005 Asante sana`s initial scents of plum and balsa, pull you in, but it`s the deep black cherry and hints of vanilla that keep your focus. On the palate it fans out and the wi ... morene`s cabernet sauvignon component blooms in the form of a rich mid-palate and lingering finish. Its Italian heritage shows itself as its lively texture emerges. True to its Sangiovese core, it complements salmon, pasta or pizza perfectly. In our opinion the 2005 Asante sana is a perfect combination of old and new world.

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville

It is with great pleasure that we release our 2005 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon. We had a wonderful long, moderate, cool summer in 2005 -- perfect for our Oakville hillside fruit. Our ... more Cabernet reveals the unique character of the vineyard location and exposure to the late afternoon sun.

Our 2005 Showket Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon might be the most complex wine we have ever released. The vintage gave us perfectly ripe Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, so we increased the percentage of the Cabernet Franc to 15% and it shows in the finished wine. In addition to our hallmark black berry and cassis aromatics this vintage shows hints of violets, tobacco and cedar from the additional Cabernet Franc. On the palate it is very round and seductive. It starts with a lively grip and gains size and depth as it opens up. It will be a perfect compliment to hearty dishes, but can also stand on its own. The 2005 Showket Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is truly an exceptional wine.
