2006 (3 Bottle Limit) $200 - Order Online
"The 2006 vintage captures and harmonizes the expressive tones of each vineyard source. The expansive aromatic comes through first with Mt. Veeder’s dark fruit and minerality followed by Howell Mountain freshly brewed French roast and a hint of Stag’s Leap cassis. The palate conveys the floral tones of Spring Mountain, the lushness of Oakville’s To Kalon and the backbone of Mt. Veeder."
- Christopher Carpenter, Winemaker
94+ Points - "This cuvee offers surprising accessibility and openness. A sumptuous bouquet of cedarwood, black cherries, black currants, licorice, and wet rocks/crushed stones give way to a broad, opulent, fleshy wine offering sweet tannin, abundant quantities of sexy, ripe fruit, a full-bodied, layered mouthfeel, and a velvety finish. This is an atypically sumptuous 2006 that should drink well for 15-20 years. Kudos to winemaker Christopher Carpenter for this brilliant effort." - Robert M. Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate, December 2008
