2005 Summerwood Summerwood Private Reserve

The 2005 Private Reserve (30% Petit Verdot, 30% Malbec, 25% Syrah, and 15% Grenache) possesses a dark ruby/purple color, more blackberry and darker fruits, more austere tannins, higher natural acidity, some toughness, and a more elegant overall framework. Its austerity and tannins may prove troublesome once some of the wine’s baby fat falls away. It should keep for 5-8 years. Tel. (805) 227-1365; Fax (805) 227-1366
