2006 Vintage Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Since 1944 our Peter Mondavi Family flagship Vintage Selection Cabernet Sauvignon has been crafted only when the vintage is optimum. Multiple clonal selections of cabernet fruit grown primarily on our estate vineyards, go through an extended fermentation for 30 days in small lots.
This blend exhibits aromas of black pepper, barrel spice and orange peel while soft supple tannins are married with ripe cherry and rich plum flavors.

PAST VINTAGES -
Great Wine Award - Sandestin Wine Festival, April 2006
Gold Medal - Dallas Morning News Wine Competition, April 2006
92 points, Cellar Selection - Wine Enthusiast - 'A ripe but firm, balanced Cabernet. The black current and cassis flavors mesh well with the oak and soft tannins, leading to real elegance. Drinks well now, but should hold for a good 10 years, if not longer. Cellar Selection.' - Steve Heimoff, November 2005
San Francisco Chronicle Recommends - San Francisco Chronicle - '21 of 83 Cabernets $50 and over are recommended by the Chronicle. Our Vintage Selection contains "aromas of plum, cherry, blackberry, talcum, earth and cedar; raspberry, cherry, cassis, coffee, oak and soft coating tannins on the palate; easy to drink; moderate finish."', November 2005
