Fielding Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 05

Darkly opaque ruby color, restrained nose, and flavors extraordinaire. This is essence of Cabernet. Cabernet can show a multiplicity of robust and delicate qualities, -- this Cab is a good example. Fruit flavors range from black and red cherry to pomegranate, currant, plum, nectarine, and raspberry jam. Intricate suggestions of slate, licorice, tar, white pepper, and herbs linger on a long finish. annins are positively velvetty, with just the right level of acidity to allow for cellaring and serving with food.

From the winery: "Richly layered with cherry, cassis, spice and shaded with bitter chocolate and cedar box. An elegant and seamless tannin structure weaves the flavors into a harmonious whole that glides across the palate."

84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 6% Syrah, & 1% Cabernet Franc
