Description
The 2006 Sycamore Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, a Napa Valley classic, hails from the famed Rutherford Bench and exudes opulence and power. Black currant and boysenberry notes dominate the aroma, with dark chocolate truffle, cocoa powder, crimini mushrooms and earth adding to the complexity. This wine has great depth of black fruit flavors with a strong expression of sweet black cherry and beautiful notes of cedar and pipe tobacco. This full-bodied red wine is firm with acidity that creates a lovely, long finish. This wine is full-flavored from start to finish, a cabernet collector’s delight.
