Vinifera Vineyards Vitis Napa Cabernet 2006
Wine Enthusiast: Rated as Superb, one of the greats. "Here’s a young, vital, impressive 100% Cabernet. It’s dry, full-bodied and rich in classic flavors of blackberries, black currants, graphite and minerals, wrapped into silky tannins. Superb oak integration lends notes of vanilla and sandalwood. Just gorgeous in the mouth, filled with class and elegance. Now–2014, at least." Apr 2010
Winery: "The 2006 vintage of Vinifera Vineyards "Vitis" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits notes of white chocolate, bay leaf, tobacco and sweet tannins combined with fresh blue and black fruits. This wine is incredibly rich and multilayered and has a finish that stays on the palate for several minutes. On the nose, this wine tells a story of Rutherford dust, and intensity not found in anything at this price point." Wired For Wine: Now that the pool is closed for the season, you are going to want to dive into this sultry, full-bodied class act instead! This Vinifera Vineyards Napa Valley Vitis Cabernet Sauvignon will impress you no end with its incredibly rich, multilayered self, and tantalize you with its gorgeous combination of sweet tannins, fresh dark fruit, lovely oak, and earthy deliciousness. Open your first bottle and delight in it with a platter of carpaccio of beef drizzled with truffle oil and shavings of a really good quality Parmesan. You'll want hearty, meaty fare with this elegant, vital Vinifera Cabernet. Our first choice of entree with the intense, earthy side of this Napa Cab is grilled baby lamb chops, a dollop of mint/garlic pesto, and a side of sauteed wild mushrooms. Make sure everyone's sitting down so that when they swoon there won't be any injuries... If it's a casual affair, we love the lush fruit notes in this Vinifera stunner with a big pile of beef sliders, caramelized onions, grilled eggplant slices and melted, aged Swiss cheese. Heaven, we say. Open just one more bottle, or two, and polish it off with a powerful, ripe Camembert. Last one in is a rotten egg!
