Wynns 2005 Messenger Block Cabernet Sauvignon SAMay08 will sell for $35 when it is released and is sealed under screwcap. The bouquet is a wonderful combination of floral aromatics and dirty earthy characters. The ripe fruit is delightful and together with the smooth, drying tannins provide a lovely, harmonious balance to the wine. Juicy-fruit delivers off-sweet blackberry; the vanillin oak provides milk chocolate and it has hints of dried herbs. A muscular-weight wine with a supple consistency, the structure is solid, tight and shows some elegance. This is a slight step up in quality over the previous single vineyard releases, and is a more complete wine. Rated as Highly Recommended with **** for value, the rating should increase as the wine enters its peak drinking window between 2012 and 2020.
