Bernard Magrez

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

9.7

06' Barnard Magrez Cabernet. 83% CB 12% CF 5%PV. WOW... A rare bottle indeed. This was sourced from the famous Vineyard Thorevilos (Abreu). Aaron Pott was its winemaker in 2006.

A 2 hour + on the decanting. All the elegant black fruit you can imagine in this glass. A 30+ finish. It's certainly in the discussion of one of the finest 2006's I've had out of Napa. Drinking well now & has another 20+ great years in it.

Barnard Magrez is now sourcing there fruit from Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyards. If you didn't get enough Realm Dr. Crane 12/13's. Hell… just want to add another great wine! This certainly could be a viable option(wish list). Benoit Touquette is "NOW" the winemaker😉👍!!

I'm not saying the 12 & 13's are another Realm Dr. Crane. They're the same winemaker & sourcing🤔. Just a thought... — 9 years ago

Silky and supple, fragrant Japanese strawberries dominate early. Subtle oak spice, earth and gentle smokiness in the mid palate. Long finish, lingering sweetness — 10 years ago

The red version. Real nice balance of sweet and bitter with a subtle liquorish note. Really like the Acha vermouths. — 10 years ago

Aww yeah. Paired nicely with Cream of Garlic soup, unsure of whether it supported the mixed greens that stinky cheese.

Great structure too young but amazing big restrained fruit. Nose is coco, dark fruits, big structured mouthfeel needs some time finishers with big tannin. Needs more time pop and pour should have decanted. — 10 years ago
