| Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon |
|
A complex blend of grapes from the greater Napa Valley and seven of its acclaimed sub-appellations, this wine also incorporates a significant amount of fruit from Estate vineyards.
The 2006 growing season was marked by a very mild summer with a mid-July heat spike that accelerated ripening. Mild temperatures continued throughout the fall allowing for a moderately paced harvest. The long growing season brought complex and intense flavor and aroma development.
Notes
This Cabernet Sauvignon strikes an effortless balance between dark fruit, oak and tannins. Classic Cabernet elements of blackcurrant, dark cherry, plum and raspberry are accentuated by more subtle layers of mint and black olive. Though a big, structured and age-worthy wine, the tannins have softened, framing both the fruit and the oak-inspired vanilla and cocoa notes.
