點擊次數：3082

The purple-colored 2006 DuBrul Vineyard Reserve is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and 7% Cabernet Franc that spent 22 months in 67% new French oak. It displays an enticing bouquet of balsam wood, spice box, pencil lead, black currant, and blackberry. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it is a ripe, dense, savory, plush effort that has enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years. It offers a drinking window extending from 2011 to 2021. Tel.

This new vintage offers the same blend as the 2005—62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc. The flavors, though tight and reserved, are substantial and lightly earthy, and the tannins sculpted and refined. Well defined and polished, the tight, tart fruit is enhanced with hints of mushroom and earth, leading into a pleasing, toasty finish. ——P.G.(8/1/2009)—— 92
