2005 Amavi Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 95 points

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Walla Walla); $20


I gave this Cab 2 extra points because of the price, even at 93 points 20 bucks is a killer price. Perfectly executed and drinkable now, amazing layers of flavors with a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 76%, Merlot 14%, Syrah 9%, Malbec 1%. Blackberry, black cherries, cassis, earth and spice propel this plush, full-bodied, yet restrained Cab. Integrated tannins with some sweet spiciness and oak on a long finish. Drink this Best Buy now thru 2011 and if you can get it by the case.
