2006 California Cabernet Sauvignon

Glen Ellen Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2006 vintage showcases the rich and bold character that California wines are known for. This luscious red features a full-bodied profile, which perfectly complements its pronounced acidity that adds a delightful brightness to the overall experience. The fruit intensity is remarkably high, with flavors of dark berries and plum dominating the palate, while subtle notes of oak and spice enhance its complexity. Tannins are firm and structured, providing a solid backbone that suggests great aging potential. With a dry finish, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a true testament to California's exceptional winegrowing capabilities, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a quality red to pair with hearty dishes or to enjoy on its own.

California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
