An elegant, medium-bodied wine, with some regional dusty/earthy inputs adding to complexity; the French oak is well integrated with blackcurrant fruit and a clean finish.

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Ashmead is a single vineyard selection aged for 18 months in new French 300-liter barrels (aka hogsheads). It offers up a superb bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, scorched earth, espresso, spice box, black currant, and blackberry liqueur. Opulent on the palate, it has gobs of succulent black fruit, well-concealed ripe tannins, impeccable balance, and a long finish. Cellar it for 5-7 years and drink it from 2014 to 2028. --Jay Miller

Opaque ruby color. Powerfully scented bouquet of spicy red and dark berry liqueurs, cherry, mocha and incense. Lush and creamy on the palate, with flavors of blackberry, boysenberry and succulent herbs. Tannins slowly build on the focused, spicy finish. --Josh Raynolds
