2005 DR II Cabernet Sauvignon

Written By: Michael Zimberg on Friday, June 27, 2008

Dark ruby. Made in a fruit forward, accessible style. Teeth stainingly thick, lush and viscus. It is a tasty treat. There's dark chocolate, nicely integrated oak, ripe, smooth tannins, and and a 30+ second finish. Despite the fact that it tastes really good, and I keep drinking, it is somewhat one dimensional. It looses half a grade here. At this price point, I'm expecting to pick out new flavors with each sip. I drank this with a corned beef sandwich, and the pairing was great. Retail $60.
