Tasting NotesOur mission is to provide unbiased opinions of the wine being offered. These notes come from up to 10 guests who tasted this wine in a blind tasting format (wine is concealed so their identity is unknown). Why this format? Tasting blind completely throws out any hype associated with a certain winery, style, price point, etc; it forces the taster to accept what is in the glass without any predetermined notions. Our guests utilize Robert Parker's Glossary of Wine Terms for their comments for consistency purposes. In addition, we utilize the wine aroma wheel to enhance one’s ability to describe the complexity of wine flavor. Notes are posted on this wine during the tasting to ensure they accurately reflect the impressions.Selected Wine Tasting Notes of the 2005 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Rollie Heitz' Midsummer Cellars
Cris: Lots of fruit layers in the mouth. It keeps on going but this is no fruit bomb.
RLA: This wine goes great with the food. A very big Cab with smooth tannins.
PS: Lots of black fruit and currants. Really opened up after some air time.
SP: Nice nose but love the taste of dark and red cherry. I noted a bit of pepper in the long finish.
BP: Smoooth! Love this wine. I get a hint of red cherries with the fruit.
MA: Smooth, from nose to finish. Some earthy cedar nose but gives way to dark berries. Very long and smooth finish. This wine was built for red meats. Definitely a celler wine but drinking very well now. Good luck holding on to this one.
