2005 Du Brul Vineyard Reserve

The Purple colored DuBrul Vineyard Reserve is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc that spent 22 months in 67% new French oak. It displays an enticing bouquet of balsam wood, spice box, pencil lead, black currant and blackberry. Medium bodied on the palette, it is a ripe, dense, savory, plush effort that has enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years. It offers a drinking window extending from 2011 to 2021.
