Altamura Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Big Cabernet lovers will rejoice over this tremendous new release! Big, dense, dark and built for long term aging. This wine is intensely concentrated with a complex core of ripe black fruits, black olives followed by rich cocoa, and toasty walnuts seamlessly dance across the palate. The intense flavors are held together with the structure of soft, integrated tannins with a tantalizing hint of caramel (unique to this 2006 vintage) plus a wonderful mouth feel and long and elegant finish! sexy, profound Cabernet to enjoy over the next 10+ years, peaking around 2014 in our estimate   ROBERT The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) possesses aromas of creme de cassis, white chocolate, espresso roast, dusty, loamy soil, and a full-bodied structure. With rich, powerful flavors that cascade over the palate as well as beautiful purity and depth, it will be even better with another 2-4 years of cellaring, and is capable of lasting 20-25 years. 94pts
