Barlow Vineyards raves their 2005 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is “one of the best wines we have made!” An elegant, rich, and decadent Cabernet from Napa Valley’s esteemed Calistoga region, this current release from Barlow Vineyards exemplifies quality, family tradition and an incredible value for wine enthusiasts who seek exemplary Napa Valley Cabs.  The 2005 Estate Cabernet was awarded 92 Points by Connoisseurs’ Guide: “Ripe and rich, and surprisingly youthful in its concentrated cherry and cassis fruit and sporting bacony and crème brulee overlays, this well-endowed, full-bodied wine keeps opening over time, and its fruit generously holds its extended ripeness at bay from the first sniff to the lasting aftertaste.” Barlow’s 2005 Cabernet also garnered 91 Points from Wine Enthusiast magazine and a Gold Medal from the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. This unfiltered Estate Cabernet Sauvignon fills the glass with dark currants and rum raisin with just a hint of French vanilla. The palate is loaded with black sour cherry flavors and hints of ripe plum that are woven around the soft tannins.
