2005 Andrew Geoffrey Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain

(92 Points)

174, The Wine Advocate

The brilliant 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a deep ruby/purple color as well as an elegant perfume of spring flowers, black currants, licorice, cedar, and subtle toasty oak. It is medium to full-bodied with sweet tannin, and a long, authoritative, elegant finish. It should drink beautifully for 15 or more years.
