Goosecross Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon |
2005 Napa Valley Cabernet Napa Valley
For the Napa Valley Cabernet, Geoff is looking for fruit-forward, mouth-filling flavor and round, supple tannins. "I really like the way this wine came into balance. The Cabernet from the young vines on our estate gave us lots of bright, vibrant fruit character and then I blended in some Cab from our Howell Mountain vineyard for added depth and complexity." Geoff guided the wine through a warm fermentation to bring out the rich boysenberry, black cherry, blueberry and dark chocolate. Layers of ripe plum, sweet strawberry, vanilla spice and toasty oak linger on the palate, finishing with round, polished tannins. |
