"Inky hue with a garnet rim. Dusty, chalky scents followed by mint, plum, tobacco and leather. Tasty cherry with smoky oak accents. Very dry, compact finish with promising fruit and structure."

Wine News, May 2009, 92 points

"...enormously promising is the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Limited Reserve, a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest equal parts Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Dense purple to the rim, with restrained, but promising aromas of lavender, roasted herbs, blueberries, and black currants, this wine hits the palate with sensational concentration, and elevated, but sweet, well-integrated tannins. It is a full-bodied, dense, exceptionally pure, harmonious Cabernet with long-term potential."

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, December 2008, 94+ points

"Impresses for its depth, power and balance, a wine whose classic acid-tannin structure could only have come from a pedigreed terroir."

2005 Limited Cabernet Sauvignon: When we produce a Limited Cabernet Sauvignon, it has to be special. In the eighties we made two. In the nineties we made 7 (good decade). So far in the 2000s we have made 3. Vintage driven, individual barrel selected, highly structured and texturally rich, our Limited is the best of the best of the cellar.
