B Cellars Blend 25 Napa Valley Red Blend 2005
MSRP: $59.00
What a classy array of ripe red and black fruit characteristics in this Syrah and Cabernet blend. Silky and fruit forward best describes the overall presence of this wine with a balanced dose of spice. Hold your glass up and notice the deep ruby color; this is your introduction to a rich yet fresh red blend. The generous red fruit aromatics leap out of the glass. The Syrah meets your palate with elements of ripe cassis, plum and earth. The Cabernet shows blackberry, black cherry liqueur and a hint of graphite. The varietals in this Blend are from what many consider Napa Valley's finest vineyards and appellations. Together this complex Blend is ripe, fleshy and incredibly wide on the palate with plenty of backbone for making this an age worthy wine. Enjoy for 8-10 years.

Vineyard Notes:
The Syrahs are an amazing component in this vintage. Both Stagecoach and the Auger Vineyards produce absolutely gorgeous fruit that is full of body yet with a lovely elegance. Although these Syrah sources are incredibly different in terms of location and terrain, they are similar in their depth, structure and femininity. The power comes from Stagecoach and III Michaels Vineyards Cabernets. They give backbone and layers to this blend. ToKalon's coveted fruit adds its unmistakable black cherry notes.
Just as the blending of two or more world-class wines can make an even more palatable potion, the uniting of two over-achieving entrepreneurs can create a union that is more effective than either one alone. When B Cellars' founder Jim Borsack first encountered his partner Duffy Keys at a fourth of July barbeque in 2002, both executives were exploring new life paths in the wine business. Over a drop of the good stuff, of course, their journeys became intertwined when they discovered that they not only shared the same tastes in wine but were also on parallel missions to acquire vineyard property. In the spring of 2003, they scrapped their solo endeavors, formed B Cellars, and got serious about structuring a first-rate wine company predicated upon two absolute principles: first, to produce exceptional artisan wines, season after season, by employing a multi-vineyard strategy, and second, to develop distinct flavors by blending wines from mutually complementary varietals. The B Cellars name and logo stand for a commitment to seasonless excellence. The letter 'b' and the degree symbol ยบ refer to BRIX, a wine term which defines the optimal sugar/alcohol content in grape juice that indicates the potential for greatness.
