The 2005 Meteor Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley offers an elegant and well-aged profile with rich blackberry, currant, and black raspberry aromas complemented by savory notes of olive tapenade, roasted walnuts, and a hint of tobacco leaf. It displays a dense, velvety texture with round tannins and a long, lingering finish, reminiscent of a refined Bordeaux blend but with Napa’s signature depth and power. The wine is drinking beautifully now, showing balance and finesse without the overly sweet, fruit-forward style common in some Napa Cabernets. This Cabernet pairs exceptionally well with hearty dishes like barbecued beef ribs, braised beef ravioli, or grilled porterhouse steak with gorgonzola walnut butter, making it a versatile choice for rich, savory meals.
