Rubicon Estate 2005 Cask Cabernet Sauvignon

I have been dying to try this wine. You all know that I love cabernet, and I am crazy about California cabs in particular. I have had the Captain's reserve cabernet from Rubicon before and really liked it. So for my summer shipment, I received two bottles of Cask cabernet (one for me and one for me). I think that it took me about 7 seconds to open the bottle.

Oh boy. This is a big cabernet, but also very soft and supple. The tannins were provided structure but were not overpowering. This wine stayed very consistent over 4 days. Easily one of the best cabernets that I have had. I need more.......
