"Earthy and a bit dirty, with melted plastic flavors that miss the mark. Huge disappointment given this wine's previous vintages. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 2,338 cases made. 72 points" Wine Spectator

Head for the hills! The 2005 Kunde Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is the epitome of Sonoma Valley Cabernet; herbal accents of fennel and anise wrap around a core of black raspberry and black cherry flavors so typical of Kunde's rolling hills and steep mountain grape blocks. A touch of Syrah, Malbec, and Petit Syrah adds color and richness to the wine - we'll break with the French blending tradition if it reveals the best of our land and its fruit! This fabulous wine was crafted using 80% hillside fruit. Grill some smoky pork chops stuffed with apples and gorgonzola, open a bottle of Kunde Estate Cabernet, and impress your mouth.

The color of dark rubies, this Cabernet presents itself with a nose of bourbon-soaked cherries, chocolate, and cedar, complemented by flavors of red currants, blackberry cobbler, and subtle notes of walnuts, wild game, and rich French oak.

Pomegranate and black cherry flavors burst through this wine. Soft and sliky tannins are followed by a toasty finish.
