2006 THE CORE - Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon:
((( back

97 Points - The Wine Advocate - Robert Parker - "The magnificent 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon - The Core is a selection of the estate’s finest barrels that is aged 24 months in 100% new French oak. Its inky/ruby/purple color is followed by dense blackberry and cassis flavors intermixed with hints of espresso roast, subtle oak, and lead pencil shavings. Layered, full-bodied, and elegant, it is one of the truly magnificent wines produced in 2006. Drink this classic Napa Cabernet Sauvignon between 2012 and 2030+."

A BOND OF FOUR BROTHERS

2006 is the premiere release of THE CORE, a wine that represents the very best of Buoncristiani Cabernet Sauvignon from the vintage. Each year the four Buoncristiani Brothers craft multiple single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons from premium Napa Valley vineyard blocks, and THE CORE is the culmination of meticulous blending of carefully selected lots. Choice barrels are folded together slowly over the course of two years, diligently creating a balance of power and elegance, and then captured in bottle without fining or filtration. At the heart of the Buoncristiani portfolio is THE CORE.

We, the Buoncristiani brothers, take pride in performing all aspects of enology, viticulture, wine production, and art design in order to share with you a true expression of our winemaking passion.
