Sineann Cabernet Sauvignon Lazare Vyd 05

Peter Rosback's take on Napa Cab.

Blogger Andrew Wells says about the wine:

"This unusual offering is a Napa Cabernet made by Peter Rosback of Oregon... vineyard owner Amanda Lazare walked into the the Sineann winery in 2005 and offered her fruit for Rosbacks' interpretation... the result is an interesting and fairly straightforward Napa Cab with few of the Oregon hallmarks (huge oak, almost candied sweetness)... the nose is black cherry with a touch of dust... the flavor profile has some minerality to it but a lush set of blackberry, black cherry and dark fruit aspects... moderate tannins bode fairly well for moderate to extended aging... this one goes down for a few years to see how it evolves... for now its a well made classic Napa Cabernet, albeit a bit pricey for the current level of quality." - Andrew Wells
