TWENTY ROWS 2006 CABERNET SAUVIGNON

  

One of our most consistent sources for value cabernet over the last three vintages, the new version slides right in where the last one vacated a few months back.  Made by a Mt. Veeder-based winery called Vinoce, who we suspect most of you haven’t heard of, the 2006 Twenty Rows is arguably the best one of the series thus far.   Mostly Napa Cabernet with bits of Merlot and Franc, this has a plump, plush fruit component of blackcurrant and notes of expresso and spice.  Not ‘big’, but very flavorful and complete.  Consistently one of the best Napa Cab  buys.
