05 Ex-Libris Cabernet


If you are looking for an entry level, great value ($15-$20), Washington State wine...here is my choice. The o5 is the 3rd vintage of this wine and they keep getting better...I have had them all.... Aged for 16 months in oak barrels, this wine is extremely fruit forward with a full range of spices on the nose with a hint of cedar and red apple peel. The fruit is a big explosion of black cherries, raisins, dried cranberries along with mild tannins.
I give this wine 7 bigbecks out of 10

  1. Is this or any of the wines you have posted so far available down at Tony's (Carriage House)?

  2. Rigby...I'd say 50/50 chance of tony having them, but 90% that he can get them...

  3. Would that mean having to buy a case?

  4. Tony will work with you. He has gotten a few bottle for me that did not require purchasing a case. Some of the higher end wines/special order wines do require a case. Also, if there is one on my blog that you'd like to try, I may have bottles in my collection...we can swap out a bottle of equal value.
