Duality in nature is everywhere – night & day, birth & death, you get the picture – but it isn’t very often that you get two distinctive phenomena at the same time. That duality is the most prominent feature of the 2006 harvest in that we saw both warm vintage and cool vintage characteristics in the same year, and nowhere was that more pronounced than here on the Montelena Estate.
The 2006 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon has an enticing deep garnet red color in the glass. On the nose there are complex notes of blackberry tart, clove, cinnamon, and cocoa, along with dried black currants. The mouth has a soft supple entry, youthful crisp acidity, juicy plum and rich bright red fruit notes, all complemented by loads of fine grain tannin and an under-layer of dried black currant. All of this results in a wine that piques interest, demands broad appeal, and has the structure to last for decades to come.
With a customized wine accessory or personal gift message, the 2006 Montelena Estate Cabernet is as much a statement as it is an unforgettable wine gift.
