March 28, 2012 – Wine: 2005 Meyer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

This wine represents my favorite characteristics of the 2005 vintage.  The wine is a juicy, lush cabernet with flavors of red currant, sour cherry, and a note of baking spices, all wrapped in soft, sweet tannins.  The finish on this wine lingers for over half a minute.  I have been working my way through a case of this wine and have been amazed by the consistency as this wine matures.  I first discovered this wine in a tasting lineup with the 2003 vintage, which impressed me equally.
