Note di degustazione
Made when they were still doing manual punch downs, the 2006 Two Blondes Vineyard (close to one-third each of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) has a high pitched bouquet of violets, olive, leafy herbs, plums and black currants. It is rich, rounded, supple and sexy, with a beautiful seamlessness that just makes you want to drink it. Drink this sexy, forward and delicious wine over the coming decade.

Liquorice, leather, black fruit. Sweet blackcurrant juice on the palate plus a touch of spice and wood – but the main focus is the jolly, ripe-fruit character. (RH)
(43% cabernet franc, 29% cabernet sauvignon and 28% merlot) Good bright ruby-red. Musky aromas and flavors of sweet dark berries, truffle and smoke. Quite lush and sweet, but with enticing inner-mouth lift and a bright spicy quality to the fruit flavors. I find this distinctly fresher and suaver than the 2005 bottling. Rich, firmly structured wine with fine tannins to support bottle aging. Chris Camarda has taken his wines to a new level of freshness and consistency with the 2006 vintage, thanks in large part to the installation of new heating and cooling equipment in his winery, and the adoption of closed-top tanks, which has enabled him to make wines with better definition.
