Winemaker's Notes:

This 2005 Black Coyote Napa Valley Cabernet has a deep bouquet of plums and cassis, with added hints of violets, earth, leather, subtle smoke, and huge black cherry aromas at the end of the bouquet with suggestions of vanilla oak. The palate displays more plum and black cherry with additional flavors of jammy red currant mid-palate. This well-balanced wine is silky and velvety with nice tannin structure, with lingering delicate finish revealing cedar spice and cocoa powder. This Cabernet would pair perfectly with Barbeque Pulled Pork or any hearty beef dish.
