About
"2005 marks the 29th vintage for the Robert Keenan Winery and the 5th consecutive vintage of "Reserve" Cabernet Sauvignon. The five new Cabernet Sauvignon clones that were replanted as bench grafts in the spring of '98 are now showing their individual characteristics. A combination of two of the five clones was chosen for this 100% Spring Mountain District cuvee of 450 cases. Clone 7 (75%) from our "Upper Bowl" provides the tremendously rich fruit in this wine, and clone 337 (25%) provides just enough depth and rich, earthy complexity to perfect the blend. Enjoy now or years from now. Cheers!" -Michael Keenan

Review
- 94 Points & Cellar Selection, Wine Enthusiast, Aug 2009
"This Cab is built for the cellar. Don't even think of touching it before 2010, and even then, it will still be tannicly tough. Better after 2012, to let things settle, and should evolve for many years afterward. Buried beneath the astringency is a wealth of blackberry, black currant and cedar flavors, rich, pure and mountain dense. Cellar Selection. $96"
- 92 Points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Issue #174
"The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve possesses more blueberry, raspberry, and floral notes, an elegant personality, full body, and outstanding depth, richness, and texture. Enjoy it for 15+ years. $100"
