Oak Knoll
92 pts (WS) Bold, rich and extracted, with dense, concentrated cherry, currant, fresh earth, mineral and sage. Full-blown and well-structured, ending with chewy tannins. Best from 2010 through 2016.—J.L. Insider Vol 5 No 33 8/19/2009
Winerty Notes:
The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon is grown on three little vineyards I
planted and farm in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. The climate
and soils create a beautifully balanced and rich wine with flavors of
blackberry and blueberry. There is a hint of sweet oak with a big
rounded mid palate and smooth finish due to the integrated tannins.
Enjoyable upon release and will continue to improve for years to come.
