2006 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage and Winemaker's Notes:
The appearance is opaque dark red with ruby hues. The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon shows aromas of dark cherry,
blackberry syrup, bruleed sugar and aromatic cedar. The integration of oak adds hints of walnut oil,
cinnamon and clove. Powerful, yet elegantly balanced, the flavors of blueberry, black currant, mint, cedar,
and full cherry-berry notes lead into a fleshy mid-palate, over a bed of resolved tannins. This wine is full-flavored
from start to finish, with a very long lingering fruitfulness dusted with cocoa.
