2005 Peirson Meyer Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
We couldn't be happier with our first offering of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Versant Vineyard on Pritchard Hill. The aromas show intense classic Napa Valley character with ripe blackberry, currant and anise complemented with rich components of vanilla and chocolate, and highlighted by unique floral and perfumed elements of lilac and rose petal, giving the wine nuanced complexity and depth. This wine has a wonderful silky and elegant entry that gives way to a fully structured and weighty mid-palate revealing it's Pritchard Hill origin. A luscious finish completes this wine that is great in its youth, but promises much for the future.
