Wine Spectator:  Rated as Outstanding: a wine of superior character and style.  "A rich, dense, concentrated style, this is full-bodied, focused and pure, with hints of mocha and black licorice rounding out the core currant, plum and black cherry flavors. Focused and persistent, with a long finish. Drink now through 2017." Mar 2010

Winery:  "The inviting deep ruby color and rich aromatics of cassis, roasted espresso bean and dark ripe plum follow through with flavors of blackberry and crème de cassis that linger relentlessly. Rewarding now, this wine will continue to impress for 5-10 years.  Our 2006 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is an orchestral melange of hand-selected fruit from our Hardester, Napa River Ranch, Bergfeld and Sacrashe vineyards. Each distinctive terroir interweaves complementary components which culminate in a preeminent Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, a gestalt of balanced, rich, concentrated character."
