Cardinale Napa Valley 2006

Cardinale Napa Valley 2006

Vintage:

2006

Ratings:

100 points by Wine Enthusiast

Acclaim:

Cardinale creates a single, limited production Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from each vintage, drawing from the distinct and diverse vineyards situated in the Mt. Veeder, Howell Mountain, and Stags Leap regions of Napa Valley. The geographic characteristics establish distinctive "footprints" of individual flavor components that lend to the unique and coveted complexity of this harmonious cuvee.

Tasting Notes:

A perfect balance of richness and vibrancy, this famed wine starts with a very fine nose of cedar, cassis, and violets, then turns dramatic and refined in the mouth. The wine has marvelous tannins, vast depth and length, and a full minute finish of sweet fruits and spices. It's a big, bold wine noted for its power, elegance, and voluptuous quality that defines Napa Valley winemaking at its finest.

Blend:

86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot

Cellaring:

Approachable now with proper decanting, though the wine has the stamina to be aged for ten years or more.

Ratings:

94 points by Wine Spectator

Acclaim:

One of the most allocated and collectible Cabernets in the world, Caymus Vineyards Special Selection is crafted from the outstanding barrels of the vintage, and only in vintages that proprietor Chuck Wagner feels are suitable for this designation. Classically dark and intense with deep, rich flavors, Caymus Special Selection is a collectible masterpiece.

Tasting Notes:

Complex, rich aromas of spice, cola, and sassafras join dark berry, spice, black cherry and sage notes in this full-bodied, intensely flavored, tightly focused, and very persistent wine that closes with a long and lingering finish. Fans of unabashedly expressive Cabernets will find a lot to like here.

Blend:

100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Cellaring:

Drink now through 2017.
