Item Description

1 case of 2005 Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.

The gorgeous varietal flavors of 2005 Martha's Vineyard Cabernet reflect this wine's classic pedigree. The alluring bouquet of ripe black cherry etched with mint sets the tone for enjoyment.  In the mouth, the Cabernet fruit is wonderfully balanced with firm tannins, and the richness of layers adds to the complexity and intrigue. 

The 2005 vintage is popular due to the near perfect weather conditions in the Napa Valley during the growing season.  The grapes arrived at the winery in pristine shape, and the proof is in the delicious wine produced by our winemaking team. This Cabernet is a joy to drink now, and it will also make a sensational addition to any cellar.

Martha's Vineyard is 34 gently sloping acres on the western side of the Napa Valley just south of Oakville. This verdant niche near the Mayacamas foothills soaks up the morning sun and then cools down a bit earlier than the valley floor.

Fanning out across a graveled alluvial plain, the vines are fringed with towering Eucalyptus trees which are often credited with the distinctive minty aroma and taste of the wine.

This certified organic ranch is home to a proprietary Cabernet clone famed for producing small berries with an intensely purple hue and splendidly concentrated flavor. Joe Heitz crafted the first memorable Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from this exquisite fruit in 1966.
