2005 Cabernet Sauvignon

Diamond JEM Vineyard, Paso Robles

Cabernet label

Our award-winning 2005 Cab Sauv is very sophisticated, well-balanced and more complex than our 2004 Cab. The grapes come entirely from the Diamond JEM Vineyard in the Westside part of the Paso Robles appellation. The old vines at Diamond JEM are meticulously hand-trained to ensure maximum quality. You can shelve this wine for 4-5 years or open and drink it immediately.
