Tamber Bey 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville Napa Valley

Tamber Bey Vineyards
The 2006 vintage is all about power. A saturated black/purple hue replaces the more reddish color of the past, which is the first indication of what's to follow. The nose is more black fruit dominated, with notes of creosote, blackberries, smoke, and cassis. Fruit sweetness hits the palate early. The finish is very long and framed by black currants, graphite, pain grillé and sweet tobacco leaf.

The Vineyard
Tamber Bey is a privately-owned and operated winery that produces 100% estate grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay wines. The winery harvests fruit from its two vineyards located in the heart of the Napa Valley. Adjacent to the Napa River at the southern end of the famed Oakville appellation, the Tamber Bey Estate Vineyard is located on the southern edge of the premier Napa Valley Cabernet ripening zone and is planted entirely with the Cabernet grapes that make Tamber Bey’s flagship 'Estate' Cabernet.

The Deux Chevaux Vineyard is located just east of the town of Yountville, in the Yountville appellation. This vineyard sits in the middle of the valley and is also adjacent to the Napa River. It is planted with Merlot, Cabernet and Chardonnay grapes. All wines made under the Tamber Bey label are 100% produced from these two vineyards.
