2005, Underground Wine Company, Napa Valley A.J.V. Signature Wines Cabernet Sauvignon

Made from hand-selected fruit taken from one of the most prized Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard locations in the world, the 2005 vintage is accessible, balanced, and elegant.  This wine was aged in custom-toasted barrels of new French Nevers, Limousin, and Vosges oak for 24 months and underwent 100% malolactic fermentation in barrels for added complexity and softness.  A big, sweet nose of black currant jam and chocolate betrays a similarly succulent palate completed by an enduring finish with hints of coffee.  With silky tannin and loads of length and concentration, it should drink well for 8-10 years.
