Bonterra Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

BN#198139

Syrah continues in this vintage as our unconventional blending grape for
Cabernet Sauvignon, giving intriguing elements of spice and deep rich flavors
sometimes not so attainable from the more traditional Merlot or Petite Sirah,
both included in this effort. Over the past six years we’ve been privileged to work
with Christian LeSommer, formerly of Chateau LaTour, to chisel our Cabernet and
refine away the rough edges to allow an elegant, near Old World styled Cabernet
to emerge. While definitely influenced by the insights Christian brings from
Bordeaux, this Cabernet offers New World aromas of cherry and raspberry, with
spicy notes of nutmeg and coffee oak, with slight vanilla (French Vanilla, of course).
The wine enters with juicy red berry flavors, and offers a very approachable, rich
and full mouthfeel with a wonderful finish worthy of an exhibitionist. Good
9tructure, polished tannins that promise an ever more complex wine to come,
with lively acidity and subtle spice. Cabernet has become
one of Bonterra’s most popular varietals, and we know why.
Enjoy!
