A selection of exceptional California Cabernets..

Penman Springs 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles, CA - Medium dark ruby. Soft cherry, currant and oak aromas. Balanced, oak-infused cherry, plum, and currant flavors. Moderate tannins with lingering oak and cherry.

2005 Leal Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, San Benito, CA. -This wine offers abundant quantities of plums, blackberries, cocoa, cassis and currant with a hint of toast on the nose and palate. 1508 Cases Produced

2005 Ecluse Cabernet, Lock Vineyard, Paso Robles, California.  - This wine offers aromas of blackberry, coffee and chocolate with layers of the same on the palate followed by silky tannins on the finish. 351 Cases produced.

2004 Steltzner Cabernet Sauvignon, Stags Leap District, Napa, CA - Wonderful black cherry, wild berry and plumy Cabernet aromas turn supple and elegant on the palate, picking up a pretty mix of anise, cedar and nutmeg and ending with a long, focused finish that keeps repeating the fruit themes. 570 cases made. 92 Points Wine Spectator

2001 Godspeed Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, Mount Veeder, Napa Valley, California.  - Nestled in the Mayacamas Mountains overlooking the opening of the Napa Valley is a small, 25-square-mile appellation that produces colossal wines of mountainous fame. It takes a love of the vine, unrelenting patience and sheer guts to grow grapes on this rugged, volcanic mountain. The slopes are steep, the soils are thin and the viticulture is back-breaking, but the results are intense, chewy wines with distinctive wild berry fruit flavors and magnificent spice. Godspeed Cabernet offers wild berry aromas on the nose followed by brambly fruit, herbs and anise on the palate. Distinctive and delicious. Less than 300 cases made.
