Very good vintage but seems a bit off. More fruit forward than expected. May need time in cellar. @home as part of a new world bordeaux blend wine blind tasting. — a month ago

Red fruit, green, polished, balanced. — 6 months ago
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Beautiful nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, spices, licorice, chocolates, light vanilla, coffee, earth and herbs.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cherries, light cedar, earth, coffee, herbs, light vanilla, toast, tobacco leaf and chocolates.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Alexander Valley. Rich and fruit forward, elegant and nicely balanced.
Still young, but already enjoyable, even by itself. Needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

The nose reminds me of a Napa Cabernet. Complex and entertaining.
A great sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.
A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Malbec. Aged in (25% new) French and American Oak barrels for 24 months.

The bottle is heavy!
Distinctively Napa with Bordeaux sensibility. Dark cherry, cassis, blackcurrant, cedar, and a touch of tobacco unfold on the nose. The palate is beautifully structured palate with polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and concentrated dark fruit. Composed and well balanced with long candied finish.
The winery is the first customer of the Stagecoach vineyard and The Oracle used grapes from the vineyard exclusively until the 2015 vintage. — 2 months ago

Excellent — a month ago
Popped and poured into red Solo cups; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2006 pours a garnet/purple with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated black currants, blackberries, black cherries, tobacco, Poblano pepper, cocoa, fine warm spices and organic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin (integrated) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Quite delicious and a really lovely example of the 2006 vintage. Drink now through 2036. — a month ago
