2005 El Llano Red Wine - Napa Valley

Description

HALF BOTTLES ONLY!

DARK.       PITCH BLACK.       DENSE.           INKY.

This is by far the deepest, darkest, most intense colored El Llano that we've ever crafted. Returning closely to the roots of our initial 2002 release, the 2005 vintage is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon & 35% Syrah. As is always the case, the final blend reflects the painstaking barrel selection process conducted by our proprietor/winemaker, Rolando Herrera. Only after hours of blind tasting & re-tasting is the final blend determined. In the end, what you get is an incredibly luscious, full-bodied, multi-layered, deeply concentrated wine that can proudly stand up against wines bearing much heavier price tags! Aromas of ripe dark fruits, figs, freshly turned earth & exotic spices arrive in unison.
