2006 David Arthur, Elevation 1147 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 1x3L

Vinous 91

Bright ruby-red. Very ripe and aromatic nose combines cassis, blueberry and complex soil tones. Lush and pliant in the mouth, with a restrained sweetness to the nuanced flavors of dark berries, mocha, chocolate and earth. Tactile and broad wine with very good inner-palate energy. Finishes long, with a positive medicinal quality. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/05/2009]
