The only 2006 I tasted is a re-evaluation of the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain which is performing better now than it did last year. A dense purple color in addition to plenty of creme de cassis crushed rock blueberry and brioche-like notes are found in this full-bodied Cabernet. It avoids the rustic tannins of this vintage and exhibits good sweetness and purity of fruit. Consume it over the next 15-20 years.
