Vinous:

Good deep Ruby-red. Slightly high-toned aromas of black cherry, menthol and nutty oak. Broad, dry and rich, with licorice and mineral notes complicating the dark fruit flavors. Very good, but can't match the estate's superb 2004 for sheer palate-saturating material. I found myself wishing for a bit more definition and grip. Owner Jeff Smith told me that this vineyard was harvested on November 17, with the fruit still in good condition despite five separate rain events in the final weeks of the growing season. Rating 90/100. - Stephen Tanzer -

Winespectator:

Delivers a ripe, rich, juicy core of blackberry and wild berry fruit, with melted licorice, cedary oak, dried herb and sage notes. Ends with a full, long, expansive aftertaste that echoes the berry and licorice details. Tannins grip the finish. 2005 California Cabernet blind retrospective (September 2015). 1,200 cases made. Rating 92/100. - JL -
