2006 Aurielle Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
7/29/2023 - Dulcie and Aylwin wrote: NROne of my early purchases from those masters of hype Wine Access some 13 years ago. I drank the first one 12 years ago. This was the first of only three vintages - so far as I can tell - from this producer. It has the unnecessarily heavy bottle that one associates with "high-end" wines. I note the drinking window is through 2015 so I am well past that. |

10/21/2019 - merlot78 Likes this wine: 89 pointsThis wine is drinking well. Nice color. Faint cherry and other red fruits on the nose. Light cherry, red current and a hint of vanilla on the palate. Tannins are there but are soft. A medium finish. |

11/10/2018 - mdkraft99 Likes this wine: 92 pointsReally nice, recanted x 1 hr, served with ribeye steaks. Dark fruits- blackberry, black cherry, plums, then hints of leather, dust, and just a little earthiness at the end, soft tannins, medium finish, really good! Great to revisit after so long, can't wait to try the last bottle in a couple years. |

3/23/2015 - aaronfeigin Likes this wine: 91 pointsBig complex Cali Cab with excellent balance. Lots of black fruits and soft supple tannins. Well integrated, this wine is drinking very well. It can be held but I don't think it can or will get better than it is right now. |

2/21/2014 - CV Griz Fan Likes this wine: 93 pointsA slight floral note on the nose. This wine has a nice currant front end with a smooth finish. It's not over powering at all. I like the wine and you won't go broke drinking it. |

8/3/2013 - Chris wrote: 92 pointsThis wine has developed nicely over the last few years. At this point the tannins are nicely integrated. Great fruit nose and flavor profile of dark berries. Decant an hour to let it open up but even out of the bottle I was enjoying this wine. Not quite up to the Kathryn Hall '06 I drank the week before but at half the price, a good QPR. |

7/29/2013 - suburbanfrog Likes this wine: 93 pointsNose of dark fruits and berries typical of mountain fruit and almost a light perfume like scent that was confirmed by friends also tasting the wine. Blackberry, dark plums and black cherriesround out the fruit pallette. The tannins and acidity were in balance to cut the fat of a nice grilled ribeye steak. |

5/3/2013 - Endodr Likes this wine: 92 pointsBig complex California cabernet. Tastes of boysenberries, cassis, and blackberries. Very round and complex with a mouth filling feel. Long finish with fine tannins. The wine improved over time in the glass. It was very enjoyable to drink now, but will certainly improve with another few years of aging! |

3/3/2013 - Chris Likes this wine: 92 pointsA good bottle of cab. Great nose. The taste is not as deep as some other Napa cabs but still quite good. For the $40 price point, its a good QPR overall. |

The use of oak is only apparent from its benefit in terms of giving oxygen to the wine (new french oak and used). Lots of Bordeaux cherry, some zesty cranberry, and interesting layers of flavor. |

9/24/2011 - Dulcie and Aylwin wrote: NRUpon removing the cork, the initial aroma from the open bottle reminded me of Bordeaux - a mix of woody notes and berries that augured well for the future. Fairly intense dark inky color pronounces plenty of extract. On the palate much more accessible than I might have thought, no forbidding layer of tannins here; some, but reasonably soft. Dark berry fruits, succulent and ripe, but no great complexity or structure. It might have left me a little wanting, and showed no improvement over time. |
