Technical Data for Joseph Family Vineyards 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon

Technical Notes - Joseph Family Vineyards 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon

About the Vineyards

Located in the south-east corner of the Alexander Valley, our vines climb a steep gravel slope above the Russian River valley. Our notes recall that this was a lush year with lots of rain and a mild, long summer. Generally, yields that year were very high, as was quality. We intentionally, however, cropped our 12 acres to only two tons per acre.

Winemaker's tasting notes

The 2005 vintage is probably our most complex yet, 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.
