Blagden Monte Rosso Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon - 2006 (750ml) Banyuls slowly awakening with a mentholatedA deep reddish purple in color, this wine shows mocha, tasted almond, dried tobacco and blueberries on the nose. These give way to cigar box, chestnuts, leather, earth and a slight jasmine note on the palate with soft, elegant tannins, nice acid and a longfinish. This wine is a stylish and easy drinking Cabernet Sauvignon. Balanced and complex, this wine is drinkable now, but should age nicely for another 10 or more years.
