Community Tasting Note

• AllRed wrote: 94 points

  October 14, 2018 - Second Sunday Group: 2006 vs 2007 Napa Cabs/Blends (R&D's): Double blind. Deep inky crimson color. Aromas of chocolate, herbs, cassis and black fruit. Firm tannins. Cassis and black fruit with nice underlying acidity and a long finish. Develops a nice floral undertone as it opens in the glass. Terrific fruit on the palate with a floral liqueur quality as well. Balanced and pretty. I like this quite a bit. 94-95 pts.
  
  My #1, Domino's #3
  Group #2, 55 pts

Price-wise, they are seriously underrated, aren't they? Look at auction prices for older vintages....they are a steal.
