This collector from Alberta grew up in a wine loving family and was fortunate to have exposure to great wines at an early age. During the last 20 years he has broadened his appreciation through visits to many of the world’s wine regions. His cellar contains an eclectic collection of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Rhone, Piedmont and Tuscany and Napa. He has developed excellent relationships with local retailers and purchased his wine through them. It has always been stored in a temperature-controlled cellar in his home.
The score for 2006 Cardinale Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is 94+ from Robert Parker and the tasting note - One of the flagship wines of the Jess Jackson empire, this 1,500 case cuvee is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Merlot aged in 100% new French oak for 22 months. Made from a combination of mountain vineyard fruit (from Mt. Veeder, Howell Mt., and Spring Mt.) and fruit from valley floor sites in Oakville, St. Helena, and Stags Leap, for a 2006, this cuvee offers surprising accessibility and openness. A sumptuous bouquet of cedarwood, black cherries, black currants, licorice, and wet rocks/crushed stones give way to a broad, opulent, fleshy wine offering sweet tannin, abundant quantities of sexy, ripe fruit, a full-bodied, layered mouthfeel, and a velvety finish. This is an atypically sumptuous 2006 that should drink well for 15-20 years. Kudos to winemaker Christopher Carpenter for this brilliant effort.
