2006 Amapola Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma

Quality is more important than yields at Amapola. That commitment shows in this Cabernet Sauvignon, made exclusively with fruit from their estate vines. After painstaking organic farming, they dropped half of their crop to make a wine of power and perfect ripeness from very limited yields. The wine was aged for 18 months in a combination of new and seasoned French and American oak barrels. This dense, concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon displays a wealth of intense black cherry, blackberry, currant and cassis aromas. Silky and seamless on the palate, the wine reveals complex layers of luscious black fruit flavors that meld with oak nuances and polished, ripe tannins throughout a remarkably persistent finish.
