Sebastiani Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
January 25, 2009 by admin
The Sebastiani vineyard and winery is located in Sonoma, CA. Samuele Sabastiani bought the vineyard in 1904 and it has been in the family ever since. This is one of the few winerys in Sonoma that has a blog so you can keep up with them throughout the year. You can find their wines online and at your local grocery stores.
I recently got to try their 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon. It had a very nice inky plum color to it. On the nose I got plum and cherry with some pepper. In the mouth the taste was much more subtle but I was very surprised by the balance and structure of the wine. The only thing missing from making this a great wine is complexity. The cherry and plum flavors were light but the finish lasted and lasted. I really liked the tannins on this wine.
