2005 Montoya Vineyards "Napa valley" Cabernet Sauvignon
$14.95 btl/$145.00 cs
First off, just let me say that this is an awesome value in the land of egregiously
over-priced California red wine. I've had this on the Vinobuy to-do list since I first tasted
it about three weeks ago. I loved its tell-tale Cal cab aromas and flavors, not to mention its elegant packaging. All that dusty cherry, cassis,
blackberry and cocoa sensations that are SO Napa, with subtle vanilla and oak undertones. One smell and you know this could come from nowhere else but
Napa. Classic! But being a consensus kind of guy, I wanted to get the public pulse on this one so I opened it last Saturday during our weekend wine
tasting. The verdict was unanimous, much love and praise was forthcoming, and it's time to share the goodness. This is the deal for all you cab...or
any red wine...lovers. Layered and complete from the entry through the full-bodied mid-palate and on to the pitch perfect finish, this has plenty of
acidity and fine grained tannins to get even better over the next three to four years and drink beautifully for at least six to eight years.
