A delicious new 2005 Cabernet from Neal Family Vineyards, one of our newest discoveries in top-tier Napa Cabernet. Cab fans don't miss this opportunity to try this beauty before it sells out.
The Neal Family 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is strikingly deep and dark ruby in color. An intoxicating mixture of cherries, black cassis, sweet oak, violet and cigar box spice rises from the glass. Layers of ripe Bing cherries, raspberries and semi-sweet cocoa dominate the mid-palate giving this wine a nice backbone and plenty of structure. The fruit is present with firm tannin and a nice acidity provides a beautiful balance. Brown sugar and a creme brulee- induced finish that lingers for more than 30 seconds. The 2005 will reward you handsomely after cellaring for some additional time or if decanted when young.
Los Angeles Times: "...the Neal Family Napa Valley Cabernet is succulent, generous and completely on point, a rich wine possessing fine, pristine, tannins to give the wine grip and precision."
