TASTING NOTES—2006 CALI 351 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon


Tasting Notes:
When we opened this wine last night with dinner, I knew I had to share this one on the blog! Awarded 92 Points--Wine Enthusiast, this Cab has "classic Napa tannins" and just the right amount of acid to give a nice sharp bite on the tongue while balancing well on the palate.  Tasted great after allowing it to aerate a bit.  It was a sad moment when the last drops of the fruit-forward, musky ripe raspberry and dark cherry-driven flavors left the bottle.  I have a feeling this wine will age well and will taste great in a few years...good thing we purchased more than one bottle!
