Our 2006 Director&#8217;s Cut Cabernet offers a rich perfume of plums, cherries, wild berries and cedar as well as dark, decadent flavors of blueberries, cassis, cocoa and spice. This vintage experienced a 20%&nbsp; reduction in crop yield. Having less fruit automatically enables the grapes to develop more concentration, which is exactly what happened here. Not only are the wine&#8217;s tannins sweet and mature from the extended growing season, the flavors are ripe, lush and prolonged on the finish because of the fruit&#8217;s immense concentration. This wine will drink well now while young, but it also has the structure to develop even more complexity in years to come. Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon; Barrel Regimen: 24 months using 60% new French oak, 40% 1-2 year old French oak; 14.4%<br />alcohol. Released August 2008.&nbsp; This is a California Wine<br /></P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/calwine" TITLE="California Wine Wines">California Wine Wines</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.calwine.com">California Wine</A> <BR>California Wine Online Store powered by Nexternal <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart software">shopping cart software</A>
