Cadence Tapteil Vineyard Red Mountain 05

Cadence Tapteil 05 received 93 points from Wine Advocate (Parker) 7/08. They said "There are only 250 cases of the 2005 Taptiel Vineyard, sourced from a site planted in 1985, and which yielded only 1.2 tons of fruit per acre in this superb vintage. The wine is made up of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 20% Cabernet Franc. Purple-colored, it exhibits an enticing perfume of wood smoke, tobacco, clove, cinnamon, and black currants. This leads to a full-bodied wine with layers of spicy flavors, a sense of elegance, and a long, pure, fruit-filled finish. It should deliver peak drinking between 2012 and 2025."

Wine Spectator rating 93 points (3-26-07):
"Polished, open-textured and refined, this is generous with red currant, raspberry, black cherry and dusky spice aromas and flavors. Supple texture and graceful structure make it a winner. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2014." -H.S.

Previous Vintage Reviews

Wine Spectator rating 91 points: "Flanked by firm tannins, this has a rich core of licoricescented cherry and raspberry fruit that sails through the long, shapely finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2007 through 2013.-H.S."

The winery says: " Wow. Huge nose of dusty fruit and anise. Serious black fruit density on the palate and huge, long, fine tannins that coat the palate front to back. Tapteil conveys a real sense of energy from the attack through the long finish. 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc."
