Inaugural vintage. Some highlights, but also some holes to fill. I must disclose 2005 is one of my favorite vintages, so admittedly expectations are artificially high. Very good complement to finish the evening at Ad Lib

Aromas of cedar & oak dominate; with aeration it comes into balance slowly. A massive concentration of fruit #maybach #oakville #cabernet

Very nice wine - all notes indicate this is 100% cab but it drinks like a blend (very smooth especially for the vintage). Fruity but not as fruit forward as I expected. One word - smooth. Drink or hold.

Wow. Seductive and smooth and tons of layers. CA Cab in its fullest expression. So good

This is a fantastic wine. This taste more like a Paulliac wine rather than a California wine.
