2005 Cabernet Sauvignon

2005 Richard Perry Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

This 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from our Napa Valley Estate vineyard located high above the valley floor on terraced hillsides in the southeast corner of Napa at 800 ft. elevation. Soils are volcanic in origin with areas of ash and rocky outcroppings. Two distinct soil types exist: white volcanic ash and rocky, red volcanic deposits.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes

Raspberry, cassis and blackberry aromas are underlaid by currant, cinnamon, pencil shavings/cedar. The aromas are echoed on the opulent and densely flavored palate with beautiful structure framed by fine grain tannins. As the wine opens in the glass, layers continue to unfold, with nuances of hazelnuts and blueberry reduction. Nice brightness and acidity finish a beautiful wine that is deftly balanced between power and elegance. The 2005 Cabernet will age beautifully for at least a decade, but drinks nicely upon release.

2005 Syrah

2005 Richard Perry Syrah, Napa Valley

This 2005 Syrah handcrafted wine is produced from our Napa Valley Estate vineyard located high above the valley floor on terraced hillsides in the southeast corner of Napa at an 800-foot elevation. Soils are volcanic in origin with areas of ash and rocky outcroppings. Two distinct soil types exist: white volcanic ash and rocky, red volcanic deposits.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes

Lush, intense and forward flavors in this opulent Syrah! One is greeted by blackberry, dark chocolate, white pepper and spice in the nose. An approachable wine in its youth, it is juicy and rich up front but framed by ripe tannins and exceptional length underneath. Expect further complexity as the wine develops in the months ahead. Drink now or age 4 - 6 years.
