| 2005 Volker Eisele Cabernet Sauvignon "Estate" Winery: Volker Eisele Vintage: 2005 Wine Name/Vineyard: "Estate" Wine Category: Cabernet Sauvignon Grape blend: 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, & 2% Cabernet Franc Region: Napa Valley State or country: CA Price: $42 Cases produced: 3,500 KWG Score: 90.5 (based on 4 reviews) Average Virtual Score: 91 (based on 1 review) Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good (89.99-87) Review date: October 15, 2008 Wine Review: This is the third year in a row that we have recommended this “organic” Cabernet from Volker Eisele. This dark ruby colored wine opens with a spicy black cherry like bouquet with hints of tobacco leaf. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is balanced, a bit racy and smoky with spicy black cherry flavors and hints of black pepper. The finish is dry and its noticeable tingly tannins linger for quite some time. The panel would pair this wine with pepper encrusted steak or meatloaf with roasted vegetables. Enjoy - KWGTP Winemaker Notes: The 2005 vintage Cabernet Sauvignon has 18% Merlot blended in to soften the tannins for palate feel and add desirable aromas for complexity. The wine is deep garnet in color, varietally true to type in aroma, and well balanced on the palate. This wine has a long future, but can be enjoyed today for it’s vibrancy of flavor. Organic status: organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Volker Eisele 2005 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon.
