title: Whitman Cellars 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
description: Much improved, with different vineyard sources than in 2004, this strong, varietal Cabernet mixes cassis, black cherry, light herb and hints of moist earth. Aging for 18 months in new French oak brings in coffee and chocolate, balanced and subtly displayed. Nice details of leaf and leather run richly into the tannins.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
