The 2005 Cartlidge & Browne Cabernet Sauvignon is a fantastic, single vineyard red wine find! The dramatic flavor profile is founded primarily on dark cherry and a bit of blackberry fruit with notable spice and espresso-like overtones. The tannin structure provides adequate backbone and allows the flavors to mature well on the palate. The finish is well-established and ventures on, capping the presence and character of this delightful red wine. This Cab is a well priced red to have on hand for the upcoming holidays. Consider pairing with prime rib, roasts and other red meat favorites.
