tasting notes

The 2006 St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon displays abundant notes of red cherry, cocoa, cardamom, citrus oil, violet, jasmine, and nuances of mushroom. Upon entry, flavors of red currant and orange zest transition to flavors of plum, brioche and berry. Well-integrated tannins show mid-palate evolving into a clean and elegant finish.
