2006 Kenwood "Artist Series" Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon

Notes

Each vintage since 1975 Kenwood has released a singular Cabernet Sauvignon produced from top vineyards in Sonoma County with a unique label designed by an esteemed artist. The artistry and the wine within together capture a particular moment in time and terroir that can never be duplicated. The "Artist Series" is always a rich and concentrated Cabernet true to the vintage, and each bottling becomes a vintage collectible both because of the age-worthy wine in the bottle and the one-and-only artistic label outside the bottle. 2006 winery tasting note: "This vintage of Kenwood Vineyards' Artist Series exhibits the complex and intense flavors for which the wine has become famous. The bouquet begins with fruity aromas of dried cherries, blueberries and cassis and is followed by spicy aromatic notes of sage and sassafras. The mouthfeel of the wine is full bodied with well-structured tannins, flavors of pomegranate and hints of vanilla. This wine is delicious now and should continue to improve for at least a decade."
