---|---|
Description: | The Chateau Julien 2005 Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon was produced from Monterey County Estate grapes that are ultimately managed for consistency and value in the vineyard. The property's climate is warm, yet it still benefits from coastal influences, which promotes a long growing season to ensure deeply expressive fruit and rich, ripe flavors in the finished wine. Well balanced, full-bodied, and nicely structured, the Chateau Julien Cabernet Sauvignon received an impressive amount of critical acclaim with the 2005 vintage. Honors include 90 Points from JustWinePoints.com, 88 Points & Highly Recommended from Beverage Tasting Institute, and a Silver Medal from the Grand Harvest Awards. Wine writer Fred McMillin says this Cabernet Sauvignon is Recommended and names it one of the "Affordable Reds: Which Varietal Gives the Biggest Bang for the Buck." The wine opens with rich aromas of black currant and cassis which complement hints of smooth chocolate and spice. A sufficient structure allows it to stand up to hearty foods and the mild tannins are supported by well-integrated flavors of black cherries, blackberries, spice and smooth caramel.
