2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Napa Valley, Spring Mountain District
2005 marks the 28th vintage for the Robert Keenan Winery and the 5th consecutive vintage of “Reserve”Cabernet Sauvignon. The five new Cabernet Sauvignon clones that were replanted as bench grafts in the spring of ’98 are now showing their individual characteristics.
A combination of two of the five clones was chosen for this 100% Spring Mountain District cuvee of 450 cases.
Clone 7 (75%) from our "Upper Bowl" provides the tremendously rich fruit in this wine, and clone 337 (25%) provides just enough depth and rich, earthy complexity to perfect the blend. Enjoy now or years from now.
