More tannin and earthiness are apparent in the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard. Last year, this wine revealed considerable softness, but that has morphed into a more delineated, beautifully dense, full-bodied Cabernet with dazzling fragrance and glycerin in addition to an extravagant fruit character. It, too, should drink beautifully for 20 years.
Reminiscent of a rustic Ch?teau Ausone, this offers a rich core of damp, fresh-turned earth, tobacco leaf and underbrush flavors amid dried dark berry and savory notes. Aging well, this grows on you.
