Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2006 Lotus Vineyard Cabernet has the power and intensity to match its deep color. Aromas of black fruit, slate and cedar create an enticing bouquet. The wine is layered with blackberry and black plum flavors, with dark chocolate and licorice notes adding additional complexity and depth. Despite its power, the wine shows remarkable balance, and has the capacity to age gracefully for years to come.

Professional Ratings

95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From a vineyard situated on the lower hillsides in the St. Helena appellation, the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Lotus Vineyard’s dark ruby/purple color is followed by an extraordinary bouquet of crushed rocks, spring flowers, and black currants. The wine exhibits superb intensity, elegance, and richness. This gorgeous 2006 should drink nicely for 15-20 years.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

View all products

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
