Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Deep ruby in color with fully ripe fruit aromas of plum jam, black cherry, and cassis. In the mouth it is quite lush and shows off perfect ripeness and richness. The wine hits on all cylinders. Very fruit forward on the palate with a nice almost chewy dusty texture and well-integrated tannins. Layers of sweet toasty French oak compliment the plumy, cherry flavors. Hints of black olive and cedar add complexity. Wonderfully harmonious with good length and power.

Professional Ratings

  • 91
    This vineyard is managed by superstar viticulturalist David Abreu. The results are a delicious, complex 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine was aged 20 months in French oak, of which about 40% was new. No shy wine at 14.8% alcohol, it does not show a trace of heat, but does have copious quantities of plum, blackcurrant and blackberry fruit with a hint of spring flowers and underlying minerality. It is medium to full-bodied, nicely textured, and seems to combine both power and elegance. Just reaching full maturity, it will hold for another 12-15 years.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Calistoga Wine

Napa Valley, California

View all products

One of Napa Valley’s oldest wine growing subregions but last to gain appellation status, Calistoga occupies the northernmost section of the valley. Beginning at the foot of Mount St. Helena, its vineyards stretch over steep canyons and roll out onto the valley floor. The soils in Calistoga are volcanic, which means they are heavy in minerals, low in organic matter and allow good drainage for vine roots, creating less green growth and more concentration of flavor within the grape berries.

Summer days are very hot but most nights cool down with moist ocean breezes sneaking in over the Mayacamas Mountains or from Knights Valley to its northwest.

Cabernet Sauvignon is the area’s star variety with Zinfandel coming in a strong second, though the latter commands far less price per tonnage so continues to be outshined by Cabernet in vineyard acreage, save for some important exceptions.
