The Vinoce 2006 Estate Cabernet possesses a remarkable weight and texture and still comes across as very clean and well delineated. The Cabernet brings power and substance to the wine while the small percentage of Merlot helps to soften and round out the intensity of the wine. 2006 has proven to be a vintage that has defined winemakers and Brian Nuss of Vinoce is no different. Not a lot of fruit to work with, but a lot of great wine came from it!

Tasting notes from Proprietor & Winemaker Brian Nuss: "Black fruits excite the front palate, Currant, Plum, and Blackberry. Subtle spice notes of Cedar and Sandalwood carry the mid-palate thru coffee and mocha to the glorious red fruits at the finish. This is an astonishing wine of huge volume and effortless élan on the tongue. The 2006 Cabernet Reserve shows incredible length and persistence on the palate. Amazing!"
