2005 年份的這支酒已進入迷人的成熟期，入口先是深沉的黑色果實與黑醋栗感，緊接著有雪茄盒、雪松與淡淡煙草香，尾段帶有皮革與苦巧克力的餘韻。口感飽滿，酸度支撐整體結構，單寧仍具力度但已圓潤，質地紮實而細緻。酒莊以小量分批處理為主，採人工採收、低產管理，發酵時控制輕柔浸皮，之後於法國橡木桶中適度熟成，讓原始果味與木香能夠和諧結合。葡萄園坐落於納帕優良園地，土壤排水良好、日夜溫差大，帶出成熟水果與礦質感。開瓶建議醒45–60分鐘，能讓香氣更開放，口感更圓潤。這是一款適合搭配滋味厚實料理或單獨慢慢品味的成熟紅酒。
This mature 2005 bottling offers a layered and evolved profile: black-fruit core lifted by cedar, cigar box and tobacco notes, with hints of leather and dark chocolate at the back. On the palate it’s full-bodied and structured — concentrated flavours balanced by refined acidity and firm, integrated tannins. Winemaking favours small-lot handling and careful barrel aging to allow the wine to develop complexity without overpowering oak. Fruit for this single-site release is selected from premium estate blocks in Napa, with low-yield farming, hand harvesting and gentle extraction during fermentation. Expect tertiary savoury notes from bottle age alongside lingering dark fruit on the finish. Serve slightly below room temperature after 45–60 minutes of decanting to show best aromatics and mid-palate openness.
酒莊以精緻小批量釀造為核心理念，重視選果與田間管理，來自納帕優良地塊的果實經人工採收。釀造時採用分批微量發酵、控制浸皮與溫度，以柔和手法抽取單寧與色澤，之後在法國橡木桶中陳年，讓果香、礦質與木質香彼此平衡。整體方向是呈現產區與田地的原始風貌，同時保有良好的陳年潛力。
