2005 Keenan Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Spring Mtn 92pts (WE) 90pts (WA)
92ptsWE “ and a "Cellar Selection" from Wine Enthusiast: "At the age of
nearly four years, this mountain Cab remains vigorous in tannins,
suggesting 4-6 additional years of aging. If you drink it now, decant.
It's a very good wine, rich in blackberries, black currants, herbs and
cedar, with a very long, distinguished finish.""
Wine Enthusiast August 2009
90pts WA “Primarily from estate vineyards, the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits
notes of ripe raspberries, blueberries, and kirsch interwoven with
spicy oak, subtle wood, and earthy undertones. With silky tannin and
decent acidity, this medium-bodied, elegant Cabernet should drink
nicely for 10-15 years.." Robert Parker Issue # 174, December 28, 2007
The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is composed
primarily of grapes grown on Keenan’s Spring Mountain District Estate;
the remainder of the fruit was harvested from Pope Valley, a grape
growing region located in the eastern portion on the Napa Valley
Keenan’s Estate Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were harvested beginning on
September 26th, with the final lot being picked on October 18th. After
harvest, the fruit clusters were de-stemmed, then fermented for ten to
fourteen days. The wine was barrel aged in thirty-three percent new
French and American oak for twenty months.
The blend was assembled just before bottling. The Estate grown Cabernet
imparts amazing concentration and remarkable structure, while the
portion of Cabernet harvested from Pope Valley adds complex aromas and
a balanced mid-palate.
