Catena Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Winemaker's Notes

Fact Sheet

The 2005 Catena Cabernet Sauvignon presents a dark, opaque violet color with reddish hues. The nose offers explosive aromas of ripe black berry fruit with notes of sweet spice, cedar, and a touch of fresh mint. The mouthfeel is full and concentrated with layers of rich cassis flavors and notes of roasted espresso and graphite.
