2006 THREE SONS CUVEE
Russian River Valley
This rich and lovely wine is clearly
youthful, but it is already impressive to the nose, offering an aromatic display that includes smoke, dark cherry, strawberry, sumac, dried red rose, pencil shavings and cigar box spices. In the mouth it proves
just as rich in body and full flavored as the aromas suggest. The finish is long and it reveals some tannic firmness, making it all too clear that this beauty is not fully
evolved, although it is delicious enough already that present drinking will
not be a sin. 1,300 cases produced.
