2006 Vintage

A cool wet spring and then a record heat wave in July kept our vineyard managers busy during 2006. The weather turned cool again in September though and long mild days allowed us to delay harvest until the third week in October. The resulting wines have much in common with our 2002 and 2004 vintages.

2006 Baconbrook Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5L) MV-1.5-06-BB

The impressive 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Baconbrook does not possess any aggressive or rustic tannins. It offers pure red, blue, and black fruits intermixed with notions of crushed rocks and flowers. Medium to full-bodied with excellent balance, ripeness, depth, and length, it will benefit from 1-3 years of cellaring, and should easily last 15-18 years. 90 points. Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate #186 Dec 2009

2006 Butterdragon Hill Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5L) MV-1.5-06-CS

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Butterdragon Hill reveals plenty of plum, spice box, floral, cedary, black cherry, and black currant notes, elegant, medium to full-bodied flavors, and well-integrated wood, acidity, and moderate tannin. This graceful Cabernet should be enjoyed over the next 15-18 years. 90 points. Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate #186 Dec 2009

Full-bodied, with dried currant, sage and a leathery edge that clamps down on the finish, but it gains complexity and once it opens it shows more depth. Drink now through 2014. Wine Spectator Magazine Web Only 2009
