"The 2005 The Dissident is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, with the balance Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Sourced from three vineyards, the wine was aged in 30% new French oak. Made in a more easy-going style than its two predecessors, it has a more obviously fruity nose, a soft, supple palate presence, and plenty of forward, tasty dark fruits."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
