Tasting notes
The 2005 Sorella is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Cabernet Franc, 12% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot. It has a medium garnet color and tertiary aromas of dried blackcurrant, tobacco, olive and dried thyme, and it carries some discernible oak character. The palate is full-bodied with ripe, concentrated, gently savory flavors. Its gently chewy tannins are balanced by juicy acidity, and it has a long, slightly dense finish.

(65% cabernet sauvignon, 17% cabernet franc, 12% merlot and 6% petit verdot) Bright dark ruby. Candied blackberry complicated by black olive and a dusty nuance. Then dense but juicy, with a slight dry edge to the middle palate. Finishes quite fresh, with the tannins reaching the teeth.
