2006 Keenan Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, 750mL

SKU CS06T

2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, 30th Anniversary


The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon is composed primarily of grapes grown on Keenan’s Spring Mountain District Estate; the remainder of the fruit was harvested from Pope Valley, a grape growing region located in the eastern portion on the Napa Valley

Keenan’s Estate Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were harvested beginning on September 28th, with the final lot being picked on October 12th. After harvest, the fruit clusters were de-stemmed, then fermented for ten to fourteen days. The wine was barrel aged in thirty-three percent new French and American oak for twenty months.

The blend was assembled just before bottling. The Estate grown Cabernet imparts amazing concentration and remarkable structure, while the portion of Cabernet harvested from Pope Valley adds complex aromas and a balanced mid-palate.

“The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon 30th Anniversary exhibits a dark ruby color, lush tannins (not an easy achievement in 2006), sweet dark fruits, subtle barrique,  and damp earth characteristics. Consume this attractive, seductive Cabernet over the next decade."
