Goldschmidt 2005 Game Ranch Single Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon (Oakville)

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. Unfined and unfiltered, it will be best after 2008 and through 2017.
