From the Winery:
Concentrated, lovely black fruits aromas of blackberry, blueberry and cassis. The mouthfeel is luscious and full with continued flavors of blackberry, cassis, black cherry with a suggestion of vanilla, coconut and cedar. The soft, round tannins and understated acidity of this wine complement the bright fruit characters to create a balanced Cabernet Sauvignon approachable now or worthy of cellaring for at least 10-15 years.

A growing season without extremes, 2006 provided the opportunity for a classic vintage. Moderate spring weather resulted in uniformity of berries within the cluster. Harvest occurred September 19-October 24, ensuring all fruit was picked at optimal maturity.

The vineyard blocks were harvested and fermented separately, spending 12-21 days in tank depending on the particular character of the site. After 12 months in French and American oak barrels, of which 33% were new, the wine was then aged an additional two years in bottle. The blend consists of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19.5% Merlot, 4.5% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec.
