Tortoise Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Cabernet Sauvignon
from Languedoc-Roussillon, France
winemaker's notes:
The grapes are grown and sourced from four single vineyard sites from the Languedoc region in
the south of France along the Mediterranean. No oak was used and the wine was bottled without filtration. The Cabernet has fruity notes of black cherry and spice that dance on the nose. Silky on the
palate with flavors of blackberries, dark cherry and licorice with a long finish. Enjoy with roasted potatoes, grilled steak, beef stew and firmer cheeses.
Wine Spectator – 87 points, BEST VALUE "Good intensity to the juicy dark plum, berry and
appealing herbal flavors. A fine Cabernet from the south of France, with touches of richness on
the finish."
Robert Parker's, The Wine Advocate – 87 points "Displays aromas of blackberries... it reveals a black fruit-laced
core that is chunky, hugely flavorful, and studded with notes of licorice. This fine value would be
at its best if served with a grilled steak."
