Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2006 Estate Cabernet is a wonderful counterpoint to the 2006 The Sisters. Its brooding nature comes through in a dark fruited aroma and palate. It has a more soil driven character featuring liquid minerals and graphite. There's plenty of fruit to buffer the bigness of this wine and it's this massive richness that keeps the vintage's tannin from taking over. The mid-palate is very broad and stuffed with blueberry, blackberry and black cherry notes. Like past vintages the Estate Cabernet is a wine that will reward cellaring.

Professional Ratings

    Forward and attractive now, although the tannins are firm and provide a bold structure. Shows great aromatics in the roasted coffeebean, blackberry preserves, pain grillé, anise and cedar, with similar flavors. Polished and dynamic.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Calistoga Wine

Napa Valley, California

View all products

One of Napa Valley’s oldest wine growing subregions but last to gain appellation status, Calistoga occupies the northernmost section of the valley. Beginning at the foot of Mount St. Helena, its vineyards stretch over steep canyons and roll out onto the valley floor. The soils in Calistoga are volcanic, which means they are heavy in minerals, low in organic matter and allow good drainage for vine roots, creating less green growth and more concentration of flavor within the grape berries.

Summer days are very hot but most nights cool down with moist ocean breezes sneaking in over the Mayacamas Mountains or from Knights Valley to its northwest.

Cabernet Sauvignon is the area’s star variety with Zinfandel coming in a strong second, though the latter commands far less price per tonnage so continues to be outshined by Cabernet in vineyard acreage, save for some important exceptions.
