Chapel Hill Cabernet 2005
Cabernet Home
“The dark ruby/purple-tinged 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate exhibits sweet tannin, medium body, and abundant amounts of briery fruit intermixed with notions of black currants, licorice, and graphite. Aged in primarily French oak, this wine reveals a supple, forward style that begs for consumption over the next 3-5 years.”

"A well-made, well-balanced Cabernet Sauvignon, with smoke and vanilla notes that play up the jammy blackberry fruit. Finishes with hints of dried spices and coffee, as well as some furry-textured tannins. This wine starts off with some tarry aromas that seem to dissapate with airing, so a quick decanting may help this wine at the table."
