Tasting notes
Medium garnet colored, the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Precious offers up slowly evolving notes of kirsch, violets, tobacco, earth and smoked meats with touches of garrigue. The palate is full-bodied, firm and grainy with lovely freshness and a wonderful depth of flavors, finishing very long. Powerful and gorgeous.

(15.5% alcohol; this was made from press wine from Kayli Morgan vineyard, bottled after a full three years in barrel) Good deep red. Deeper, oakier aromas of musky redcurrant, licorice and graphite. Bigger and even lusher than the regular 2005 Kayli Morgan, but with a more exotic character and less energy. Somehow, this mellow, polished wine avoids coming off as heavy. Finishes with fairly serious tannins and suggestions of dried fruits.
