Midsummer Cellars Napa Valley Cañon Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Region: Napa Valley, California
Winery: Midsummer Cellars
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Winery's Tasting Notes:
The deep color suggests the richness to come. Concentrated aromas of dark fruit, briar, and sweet cherries are buoyed by a hint of sweet oak. Full-bodied, forward fruit carries the rich mouth feel. Polished, ripe tannins add to the long, lingering finish.

Midsummer Cellars Napa Valley Cañon Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Region: Napa Valley, California
Winery: Midsummer Cellars
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon

Color: Darkest garnet

Nose: Beautiful layers of black fruit that hint at some red cherry, but basically stay brooding in their complex depths. The darkness is balanced with tempered oak, some menthol and dustiness.

Palate: Just beautiful. What a stunning Cab. Outstanding fruit as mentioned and noticed on the nose, but this is no bomb. All is in balance, with good acidity, great silky tannic structure and full bodied caressing mouthfeel. I love it!
