Vine Cliff 2005 Oakville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon - Red Wine

Red Wine by Vine Cliff from Napa Valley, California. The aroma is lifted with sweet black cherry, cassis, black currant jam and red raspberry fruits with a hint of anise. Honeysuckle, tobacco and forest floor nuances add dimension along with the cedar, and spicy nutmeg of the oak. The palate is intense at entry with bright sweet fleshy currant, blackberry, and cassis fruits. Hints of dark chocolate and licorice add complexity to the fleshy black fruits. The flavors build into a rich, full bodied mid palate which has a mouth feel that is viscous and harmonious. Round polished tannins linger on the finish.
