Farmer's Market: Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Signature 2006 from Alyssa



94 Points Wine Spectator
From its cocoa and coffee layers to its fresh herb notes and voluptuous fruit flavors, this wine displays a balanced and graceful expression of mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine’s dark plum and sweet fruit core is supported by vibrant, bright cherry aromatics, well‐structured tannins, spicy oak and an earthy minerality.

Buena Vista 2006 Carneros Pinot Noir (no picture)
88 points Wine Spectator

The 2006 Pinot Noir Carneros has aromas of bright bing cherry, fresh ground nutmeg and earthy wild mushroom. In the mouth the wine shows intense bright blackberry and plum fruit with undertones of sweet mocha and clove. This is a wine of great depth with the long, supple finish considered a hallmark of Carneros Pinot Noir.
