One bottle 2005 Kenwood Cabernet Sauvignon.

Each year since the 1975 vintage our winemakers taste individual barrels of our finest lots of Cabernet Sauvignon at the end of aging and select only the best to become part of the Artist Series blend.  The result is a flavorful and intense wine that represents less than 2% of our total Cabernet Sauvignon production. Saturated in color, the 2005 Kenwood Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits intense aromas of black currant, licorice and sandalwood, plus a background note of mint.  Concentrated flavors of black currant, blackberry, dark chocolate and cedar blossom with aeration, show different facets over time.  The powerful flavors are matched by a dense palate that stays smooth through the lingering finish. While already approachable, the 2005 Kenwood Artist Series Cabernet Sauvignon's combination of balancing acidity and integrated soft tannins suggest continued development with cellaring.
