Note di degustazione
(75% new oak): Good ruby-red. Lovely aromatic high notes to the aromas of dark fruits, licorice, violet, dark chocolate, leather and garrigue ; pungent and Cab Franc-like. Conveys a sexy restrained sweetness nicely countered by savory soil tones. This very concentrated, fine-grained wine, the first 100% Cabernet Sauvignon vintage for this bottling, boasts juicy, nicely integrated acidity and considerable class. Finishes rocky and long, with firm, suave tannins and subtle notes of salty minerality and chocolate latte. This wine has never gone through a dip, noted Starr, and it still has a bright future.

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Stone Place possesses some obvious minerality, a boatload of tannins, and more austerity. Nevertheless, it is packed and stacked with black fruits given the fact that it is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. If the tannins resolve themselves without losing any fruit, this 2006 will deserve a higher rating. Tel. (707) 967-9111; Fax (707) 967-9611
