2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
“This wine is a blend of fruit from nine of the 15 Napa Valley sub-AVAs . It offers a complex mélange of aromas and flavors. The nose begins with rich, dark fruit and subtle hints of chocolate and toasted oak. Dark, luscious cherry and plum flavors come alive on the palate and meld with notes of spice, chocolate and licorice. The finish is rich and rewarding.” – Mike McGrath, Winemaker
MORE ABOUT THIS WINE
- Price: $25
- Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
- Vineyards: The Collins Vineyard, located in the St. Helena AVA of Napa Valley, is the backbone of this Cabernet Sauvignon. Bill and Kathleen Collins, the winery founders, continue to provide us with their Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The climate here is warm, with the western hills forming a barrier to Pacific Ocean fog and wind, and the vineyard consistently ripens grapes a bit earlier than vineyards in other Napa Valley AVAs. The remainder of the blend is comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Stags Leap District, Mount Veeder and Atlas Peak AVAs.
- ALC: 14.5% TA: .54g pH: 3.73
