2006 X California Cabernet Sauvignon

The Tri-County (X3) Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend from three distinct premium California counties.  Each year the winemakers at X select these Cabernet Sauvignon sources to create a superb wine of elegance and distinction.  The 2006 vintage was an ideal growing season with a mild summer and fall allowing the grapes to ripen slowly.  Blending was a challenge only because there were so many options.  In the end, this blend highlighted the fantastic aromas of dark chocolate, cedar, and dark cherry notes.  There is a great balance of fruit and oak on this plush palate that makes this truly enjoyable sip after sip.
