2006 S.L.V.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Planted by the Warren Winiarski family in 1970, S.L.V. achieved international fame when three-year-old vines from the 1973 harvest produced a wine that shocked the wine world by besting some of France’s greatest wines in a 1976 blind tasting known as the “Judgment of Paris.” Today, this history-making vineyard continues to yield wines of multi-layered complexity, structure, and spicy intensity.
Tasting Notes
A sweet, rich perfume of Bing cherry, blackberry, cassis, and rhubarb leads to savory aromas of licorice, cedar, truffles and toasted almonds. Similar flavors coat the palate with additional notes of cocoa powder and vanilla. The wine is generous in character and framed by silky, smooth tannins.
