2005 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Stillwater Creek Vineyard

 

The 2005 is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Stillwater Creek Vineyard and may be the finest offering from this winery to date. The grapes came from block 40, planted with Clone 8 rootstock and were aged in 75% new French oak for 21 months.  We think you’ll find this Cabernet a great testimate to Stillwater Creek and the quality of Washington wines.

This wine starts with a full “engaging” nose of black currant, cassis, licorice and tobacco.  The flavors saturate the palate, with cocoa, cherry, currant, and chocolate. The finish has firm tannins and a resistant length that proves this is a special bottle of wine deserving of the label "Reserve". This wine will see its peak in two years and will continue to evolve for the next 10 years.
