Sonoma County

Bright ruby. Intensely perfumed bouquet of smoky red and dark berries lifted by a sexy floral quality. Mineral-driven raspberry and blackcurrant flavors are underscored by tobacco and graphite elements and supported by a spine of zesty minerals. The smoky note defines the long, gently sweet finish. Lots going on here already, but give it some age.

From a 1,400 foot elevation site, the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Mountain Estate Vineyard offers sweet red and black currant notes interwoven with hints of truffles, damp earth, forest floor, lead pencil shavings, and flowers. It possesses excellent ripeness for a 2006, a dense, medium to full-bodied palate, and moderate tannins. This wine should drink well for 15 years.

Bright ruby-red. Musky black raspberry and chocolatey oak dominate the nose. Dry but rich, with somewhat musclebound flavors of currant, tobacco and underbrush. Dense but tightly wound, with the oak element currently holding the upper hand over fruit. This should show more nuance and sweetness with a few years of bottle aging.
