2005 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Summers Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is grown on our Estate Villa Andriana vineyard in deep loamy, volcanic soils. This vintage represents true Cabernet Sauvignon character. Our Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is aged in French oak barrels for 21 months resulting in medium to dark ruby colored wine and sweet French vanilla notes. Summers vineyard management and wine style are realized in this signature Cabernet Sauvignon exhibiting rich black cherry and cassis flavors to the wonderful mid-palate, excellent texture and tannic structure.

91 (Two Stars) - Connoisseurs' Guide To California Wine - August 2009

Sweet and extracted in the nose with a touch of milk chocolate to the side of its deep, slightly plumy fruit, this bottling is solidly fixed on Cabernet once in the mouth, and its incisive, currant-like flavors show fine continuity. Properly tannic, but no more so than young Cabernet should be, it eschews extravagance and instead goes for real varietal precision and has the wherewithal to develop for five to ten years.
