2006 B.R. Cohn Cabernet Sauvignon Olive Hill

Bruce Cohn bought the land now known as Olive Hill Estate Vineyards in 1974. The small family operated winery is surrounded by the 90-acre Olive Hill Estate Vineyards, where soils warmed by underground natural hot springs and gentle ocean breezes create a unique microclimate resulting in ideal growing conditions for ultra-premium Cabernet Sauvignon. This vintage was aged for 24 months in only the finest tight grain French oak.

2006 Mi Sueno Cabernet Sauvignon

2006 Mi Sueno Cabernet Sauvignon

Back in 2000, Mi Sueno identified Coombsville as an area that could produce fruit that was unique to the Napa Valley. While the warm Coombsville days deliver big, bold, full-bodied Cabernet, the cool nights help to maintain their natural acidity. The results are a mouth-pleasing array of freshly roasted espresso beans, mocha, ripe black fruits and creamy white chocolate. Chewy, well-integrated tannins are further enhanced by the toasted oak you would expect from premium French barrels.
