Item Description
Six 750 ml 2006 Tamber Bey Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville
The Tamber Bey Oakville Estate Vineyard is located at the southern end of Napa Valley’s famous Oakville Appellation, just north of Yountville. It has gravel/loam soil that is relatively shallow and well suited for Cabernet Sauvignon. The site enjoys early morning fog and late afternoon breezes influenced by the San Francisco Bay to the south.
Vintner Barry Waitte founded Tamber Bey Vineyards in 1999, when he purchased the property.
His original Signature Collection wine was first released in 2002, and the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon is all about the Oakville AVA. The fruit is from the Oakville Estate Vineyard, where the dense, cane-pruned vines bring the full impact of the Oakville soil into the body of this wine.
Aromas of black cherry, cola and cassis are intertwined with scents of leather, olive and walnut skin. With time, notes of plum and baked pie crust are also evident. Being a fruit forward Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine expresses flavors consisting of baked rhubarb and cranberry, with layers of cocoa, blackberry and vanilla extract. The minerality consists of crushed rock, and is balanced by a smooth chalky tannin.
Six bottles … enough for a very nice dinner party!
