Accolades

• 92 Points! - Wine Enthusiast “A very fine example of Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, showing the elegance and complexity that wines from that Sonoma County region can attain. Soft and intricate tannins, the wine shows a mélange of blackberry, current and cherry sweet dried herbs and smokey flavors that are delicious now, and should hold well for several years.”

This week, HotCosts is offering a Cabernet Sauvignon that has been carefully farmed by Piña Vineyard Management.

About this wine

This Cabernet Sauvignon was made in a classic Bordeaux style, with extended maceration (the juice left on the skins for over 30 days) and aged in 65% new French oak for 21 months. The 2005 vintage is complex, with multiple layers of bright, black cherry overlain with a mocha finish, the result of seamless integration of creamy sweet tannins rendered from both the fruit and toasted oak barrels

Food and wine

The 05 Cabernet Sauvignon is well-suited to pair with Lamb. We suggest you pair this wine with BBQ Lamb Chops. See our Recipe Tab for preparation instructions.
