d'Arenberg High Trellis Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

The High Trellis vineyard has been producing grapes since the late nineteenth century. It was nicknamed "The High Trellis" as its vines were the first at d'Arenberg to be trained above knee-height. Over the past four decades, Cabernet Sauvignon from this vineyard has been released under the d'Arenberg label to consistent critical acclaim.

The 2005 High Trellis Cabernet has a dense plum color with crimson hues. The aroma is ripe black fruits of blackcurrant, plum and cherry with roasted capsicum and minty notes. The palate is tight and controlled showing excellent concentration with plums, mulberries and varietal blackcurrant leaf. Ripe tannins and elevated acidity provide structure and finesse. This wine will age gracefully, developing elegant cigar-box, tobacco, coffee and mocha aromas.
