winemaker's notes:

Dark red color. Various aromas radiant from the glass—ripe black cherry, plum, dried herbs, white pepper, roasted coffee and earth. On first taste, juicy, well integrated flavors of oak and fruit. Cocoa powder notes highlight this wine, which is seamless in its structure from entry to finish.

alcohol by volume: 14.6%

critical acclaim:

"Old style Napa California Cab. Enjoy it. Dried flowers and currants on the nose. Full body, with velvety and chewy tannins. Structured and rich. Needs time. Leave it for three to four years. "

James Suckling

"The single non-90-point wine, the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, is excellent. Dark ruby/purple, with notes of chocolate, cassis, espresso roast, and some underbrush, the wine is attractive, rich, medium-bodied, and while tannic, not excessively so, as some 2006s have tended to be. This wine should drink well for 10-15 years. "

I have had other vintages of this wine which were great. I don't know what happened to this wine, but it had little fruit character, little tannic structure, and little to talk about. It was just flat. I had 2 bottles which tasted this way. I was very disappointed.

Excellent cab and the half-bottle size is perfect for a couple glasses of wine on an evening.

Style:Earthy & Spicy
