Winemaker Notes
Normally, REDS is predominantly Zinfandel, with lesser percentages of Petite Sirah and Carignane, but in 2006 Laurel Glen blended equal proportions of each varietal to add complexity and heft to the blend.
The 2006 REDS is delicious, spicy, and rich with Zinfandel providing dark raspberry fruit, Carignane adding an exotic tang of white pepper, while the Petite Sirah tones down the tendency of Zinfandel to become too jammy and pulls the whole blend together with its deep color and black pepper flavors.
Enjoy, as always, with Mediterranean cuisine, and bistro, burgers, and barbeque.

Laurel Glen Vineyard, a thousand feet up the slopes of Sonoma Mountain, has long been considered one of the iconic Cabernet vineyards of California. Originally planted in the 1880’s, the present-day vineyard was developed in the 1970’s by Sonoma wine pioneer Patrick Campbell. The 1st vintage of Laurel Glen Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon was made in 1981. The vineyard’s combination of high altitude, eastern exposure, rocky soils, and small diurnal temperature swings combine to produce very distinctive wines. Despite its small production, the wine has received international acclaim for its exceptional balance, elegance and ability to age gracefully.
