2005 Holloway Cellars Beckstoffer Amber Knolls Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Note: We had this wine in a glass for about 4 hours, and we were struck by the evolution of this Cab into a luscious, black fruit-laden wine. Deep, dark ruby in color, the aromatics are effusive and portend of things to come. Aromas are of black currant, cassis, violets, cedar and earth. These nuances follow through on the palate with expansive flavors of black cherry liqueur, dark plums, a hint of pencil lead, chocolate and dusty (think Rutherford dust) yet still silky tannins lead to a finish that lasts at least 30 seconds, with a distinct baking chocolate, mocha nuance. Very approachable now with decanting, this wine should age well for at least another decade. The 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 5% Petite Verdot add complex layers and nuance. This is by far the best Holloway Cab produced. It is one of my favorite Cabs of the year.
