Cinq Cépages Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon

Drinking nicely from 375ml. Ripe; blackberries, dark cherries, plum, blueberries, soft spice, soft leather, dry top soil, fresh dark florals, round acidity and a nice round elegant finish. Photos of their Estate, barrel making, tasting room and Estate vines. Hope they recover quickly from the fire damage they experienced this fall.

Still young and vibrant, though starting to lose some primary characteristics with mocha, cedar and bell pepper peeking through

Dark liqueur fruit & anise nose. A sense of fruit infused Congac; blackberries, dark cherries, dark raspberries, black plum and dates. Dark chunky/grainy minerals, black tea, anise, sweet leather, tobacco, under brush, wild purple flowers, just a hint of sage, crushed dry rock powder, vanilla and a round elegant finish with nice acidity. A decent producer that I like for the QPR & it's availability in 375ml for a late wine night finish. A good follow up to the Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape

Best wine ever!! Accidentally got the bottle of Cabernet in a restaurant. Which is $120! Meant to get the merlot. Which is just as tasty. But that's $40

Cedar and chocolate. Not terrible

Out of a 375ml. Dark chocolate blueberry syrup over pancakes, baking spices, coco powder, sage on the mid palate, minerals, dark earth, violets and long smooth dry finish.

2006.

Smashing out out of the park right now. Still vibrate black fruit flavors and the hint of tannin that is harmoniously integrated right now. Drink this now!!

Deep ruby balance Cabernet with Red and Black fruit forward and a nice spice finish

Still tons of life but to me this is the perfect time to drink. Great cherry, blackberry and vanilla plus plenty of "French" earth and green pepper flavors.
