2006 Nomad Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Nomad (100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard - Clone 4) is slightly tighter, very much in keeping with the vintage. The tannins are more noticeable and the wine reveals classic notes of tobacco leaf, black currants, licorice and cedar. With a full-bodied, powerful but structured style, this wine needs a few more years of bottle age and should drink nicely for 15+ years. This small, high quality boutique producer makes Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Russian River area as well as some exceptionally fine Cabernet Sauvignon from various vineyards in Napa. Tel.
