Our 2005 “V” Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (76%), Cabernet Franc (13%) and Merlot (11%) that show enormous flavors, complex character and aging potential. It boasts flavors of blackberry, black pepper and spice with a long delicate finish. This wine is youthful now or can be cellared for at least 10 years. This is also a remarkably versatile food wine. This is a wonderful dinner-party wine — generous, convivial and a great match for hearty food, grilled meats and strong artisan chesses. It won a Silver Medal in the 2008 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and Wine Enthusiast gave it a rating of 92.
