Vineyard Notes:	The Cabernet Sauvignons in our Vineyard Block Series take their names and are sourced from prized vineyard blocks and areas of the estate named by Pat. Each showcases the myriad flavors and structures expressed by this single varietal at our mountain estate. Adding to the complexity of these estate-grown wines is the fact that every year we benefit from early, mid-season, and late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon, which contributes to a wide spectrum of appealing flavors. In addition, our diversity of soil types in combination with various rootstocks, training methods, exposures, orientations, and clones, consistently produce several different styles of wine. Colors range from vibrant, glowing red to almost opaque purple; aromas from red peppercorn, flowers, and sweet dried herbs to black plum, black licorice, tar, and smoked meat; and structures from clean, bright, and focused to heavy, soft, and sweet. Some wineries need to source fruit from all over the valley to get this kind of diversity – we have it all on our estate within five-minutes of the winery.
Winemaker Notes:	The 2006 vintage produced wines with amazing fruit purity and complexity. Yields were slightly below normal, so the vines didn’t have to struggle to produce fruit with great flavor concentration. The 28-day Cabernet harvest gave us a diverse range of wine styles from which to choose our Villa Vista Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine lots with spice and red fruit aromas and a focused front palate provided the basis for the blend after one year in the barrel. Repeated barrel tastings over the next 14 months narrowed the blend down to just 14 barrels. The 2006 Villa Vista is a Cabernet for Brunello lovers. It opens with red apple skin and toasted sunflower seed aromas. With a little air, aromas of caramel, nougat, and red currants show themselves. This wine attacks the front and mid-palate, then spreads out evenly in the mouth. It is incredibly long, sweet, and delicious. Build a late-fall or winter meal around this beauty.
