2005 Cab Mag
The 2005 vintage holds a special place in our hearts—not just for the wine, but for life itself. It was our third estate harvest and a year that helped shape the future of James Cole. But more importantly, it was the year our first child, our daughter Marleigh, came into the world. A time of joy, transition, and new beginnings—this wine will always be deeply personal for our family.

Now, nearly two decades later, the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon has gracefully matured into something truly remarkable. It opens with bright, fresh aromatics and perfumed cassis, layered with notes of blackberry, cocoa, and a subtle whisper of crushed mint. On the palate, rich black fruits unfold alongside hints of leather, vanilla, and warm oak spice. A velvety entry gives way to a creamy mid-palate, where polished tannins and vibrant acidity bring everything into balance. With exceptional structure, length, and persistence, this wine is a testament to both the vintage and the passage of time.

For those who appreciate a grander pour, we’re releasing a limited number of magnum bottles—ideal for collectors, celebrations, or simply savoring something special with the people you love. As with all aged wines, natural sediment may appear. For the best experience, gently remove the cork with a two-pronged Ah-so opener, and decant slowly through a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter. Allow 30 minutes in the decanter to fully awaken this wine’s elegant soul.
