The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve was sourced from a parcel planted in 1975. It reveals a nicely developed nose due to its extended time in bottle. Oak and earth notes intermingle with assorted black fruits and a hint of chocolate. This sets the stage for a nicely proportioned, concentrated, lengthy Cabernet that has the structure to evolve for another 1-2 years. Its drinking window extends through 2020+. Kiona Vineyards and Winery has been producing wine since 1980 (and growing grapes for considerably longer than that). It has long been a puzzle because its grapes are in great demand but Kiona itself has had difficulty taking advantage of their superior farming. Over the past 1-2 years it appears that significant improvements have been made.Tel. (509) 588-6746; www.kionawine.com
