Highlands 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain Napa Valley

Highlands Winery

Winemaker Notes: A wine of providence pulled from a vintage with fruit that conspired to make a winemaker’s dream come true.
Tasting Notes: A wine with a luxuriant Cabernet nose and a high flavor impact speaks to the mouth of plums, blackberries and black currants, smooth and balanced and superior oak characters. A satisfying finish gladdens a special occasion or dining experience.

Enjoy the wine now or put it down to be pleasured over the decades ahead.

Wine Enthusiast

This is a really impressive Cabernet Sauvignon. Shows a classic Napa profile, with brilliant balance, including near-perfect tannins. Pushes the cassis flavors to the edge of the envelope, without going over the top. Gets better as it warms up in the glass. 93 Points.

Highlands Winery

Highlands Winery began in 2001 with the vision of using ultra premium Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel to produce world class wines in the Bordeaux tradition. Using French oak barrels and hands-on craftsmanship these wines were produced in small lots with careful attention to detail. The results are wines which drink very well upon release and continue to improve for many years. Highland's founders were pioneers in the Napa Valley wine business. This experience stands out in the structure and complexity of Highland's wines.
