2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
This 06 winner is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the famous Ink Grade vineyard in Napa. It combines a layered nose with dense black fruits integrated with chocolate and toast components from the oak. The color is medium deep red. The complexity reigns on the palate with subtle coffee and mocha vying with plum and cranberry. It has a wonderfully weighty palate with medium grained tannins that sit throughout the finish. The finish explodes to show an incredible wine.
2006 Napa Valley Cabernet
This 06 is another 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that comes from the ever reliable Stagecoach and Shikon vineyards high up on Pritchard Hill in Napa Valley. The high fruit gives this wine a totally different style than our Reserve. This wine combines a red fruit shine with soft cherry and hints of cranberry supporting sweet oak. The color is medium deep red. The wine is very approachable because it’s extremely focused in the center of the palate with cherry and nutty notes layered with fine grained tannins. It is elegantly balanced showing smoothness and richness near the end.
