2006 Ladera Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain Napa

(94 Points) A tour de force Cabernet. Dense, plush, rich and concentrated, with wall-to-wall flavors, offering layers of black cherry, black currant, black licorice, mineral and graphite. Full-bodied and tightly wound with firm tannins, yet finishes with a mix of juicy berry and mineral flavors. Drink now through 2020. 3,000 cases made. –JL Wine Spectator Issue: Mar 31, 2010
