2005 Cain Five

Winemaker's Notes: The 2005 Cain Five shows the emphasis that we place on the palate feel: the texture of the tannins is extremely fine, yet distinctly present-like Shantung silk.  The aromas are of fresh red cherries and exotic spices.  It si gratifying to see how well this wine evolves in the open glass, which bodes well for the future.  Today, you should decant the wine, and sip carefully. We expect this wine to age gracefully for a long time.
