OUR LATEST RELEASE FROM THE GF PRIVATE LABEL SERIES: Gary's Own 2005 Go Figure Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Lot 3
For the Go Figure series, we've begun sourcing wines crafted by the industry-leading winemakers who had a little extra left over from their own bottling. The result is stellar wine hand-selected by Gary and sold to our friends at a significantly lower price than at the winery itself. We can't tell you whose juice it is, or who made it..but we can tell you we lucked out in finding it!
2005 GF Go Figure Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Lot 3
If amazing deals on juice like this are a sign of the times, then viva la recession, friends! The 2005 vintage brought a little more quality Cabernet fruit than this Oakville winery was prepared to bottle under their own flagship label, so we were more than happy to swoop in and bottle the rest as our third exclusive bottling under the Go Figure label. Sourced from fifty-five acres of some of the most tightly spaced vines in California on some of the reddest, rockiest soil in Oakville, this wine is made from an impeccably-researched combination of the best clones from California and Bordeaux. A mild summer and fall in the 2005 vintage allowed for extensive hang-time and flavor development in the grapes without excessive sugar development. The result was classic cassis and rich red and black fruits on a rich palate. Look for bright red cherry and raspberry on the nose, along with a little cinnamon, allspice, and pine. A velvety mouthfeel shows just the right richness without being cloying, and solid structure and tannins make for a medium to long finish with a good dose of warm spice at the end.

Wow, Carneros Inn looks amazing! I've been doing some research on Oakville wineries and PlumpJack seems to have a few great options.
