2005 | Goldschmidt Vineyards | Single Vineyard Selection Game Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep Byzantium purple, ripe black cherry and black currant aromas with violet, boysenberry and currant. Intense dark fruit flavors beautifully meld within a gorgeous framework of French Oak. Shows bright acid and firm, super-fine grained tannins. Dark chocolate and smoke in the long finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: This is a densely structured young Cab. Although the tannins are ripe and sweet, they still possess enough astringency to suggest cellaring. This wine is terrifically rich in black currants and exotic, smoky oak—a big, rich Cab whose impeccable structure defines Oakville.

Producer Information

Goldschmidt Vineyards is a Californian wine producer most notable for its single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Alexander Valley and Napa Valley. It was established in 1998 by Nick and Yolyn Goldschmidt. The Goldschmidt portfolio consists of a range of single-vineyard wines, each of which has a corresponding wine called "PLUS", which comes from the very best parcels in the vineyard. Included in the portfolio are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines named after the Goldschmidt's three daughters: Chelsea, Hilary and Katherine. These grapes are grown in vineyards situated in Dry Creek Valley, Oakville and Alexander Valley, respectively. The estate's extensive wine portfolio is not only limited to vineyards in the US. Goldschmidt Vineyards' range of brands includes Forefathers, Guidepost, and El Chaco. These labels draw on grape varieties such as Pinot Noir, Malbec and Sauvignon Blanc and are sourced from vineyards across Argentina, Chile and New Zealand. Grapes are sourced from two key sites in the Alexander Valley and Oakville appellations. The Game Ranch Vineyard in Oakville sits atop an old river bed of rocky, well-draining soils of volcanic clay and gravelly loam. In comparison, the Yoeman Vineyard in Alexander Valley occupies a northeast-facing terraced slope of gravelly loam soils, and was first planted to vine in 1988.
