winemaker's notes:

"Aromas of ripe plum and blueberry offer a defined mineral influence. An exciting, youthful Cab with layers of black fruit, lightly charred oak and a flinty, mineral quality running through the core. Great weight and intensity with youthful tannins in the lengthy finish."
-Wine News

Lancaster Estate 2005 "Estate Bottled" Cabernet Sauvignon reveals lush ripeness, with deep black cherry and plum characters, accented by lavender and spice. Supportive tannins provide structure for the rich fruit, and layers of complexity carry over the long finish. Aged 22 months in French oak barrels, the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered.

 I would buy this wine again

This is a MUST wine for any enthusiast who enjoys BIG Napa cabernets! Personally I think it's the next Opus One waiting to be discovered. Just returned from the tasting room and met Jennifer the Winemaker and we had a wonderfullly personable experience. This is a must have item for your collection. It is drinkable right away but will keep well for the next 6 to 10 years.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
