2005 Metamorphosis

Tasting Notes | Sold Out, Sorry

Metamorphosis honors pioneering Napa winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff, whose philosophy was, "once balanced, forever balanced." Each of the seven unique Jaffe vineyard lots is individually vinified and plays a different role in achieving that crucial balance. Barrel fermented elements add spice to the blend, while the oldest block of Cabernet focuses the aromas and flavors.

Metamorphosis is a traditionally styled Cabernet Sauvignon blended with 15% Merlot. Aromas of black currant and powdery tannins deliver the "big" taste of young Cabernet now, while promising a long and rewarding cellar life. A focused entry of Bing cherry, raspberry and red currant carries through to the lively and textured finish, picking up savory hints of spice and toast from the French oak along the way.
