"The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon is a beauty. Aged in 400-liter puncheons (as winemaker Philippe Melka believes the larger size helps tame some of the naturally high tannins from this mountain site), this wine exhibits a deep ruby color, a beautiful nose of melted licorice, spring flowers, cassis, and hints of blueberry and chocolate. It is elegant, full-bodied., refreshing, and intense. The wine was completely fermented and aged in puncheons before bottling . . . . This winery on Spring Mountain owned by Michael and Alexandra Marston has been around for well over three decades, with the fruit sold primarily to Beringer. They are now estate bottling some of their wine, and we should all be thankful for that. There are about 500 cases of each of the following two wines."
