Production Notes

2006 Three Stones Cabernet Sauvignon

VINEYARD & WINERY NOTES

Fine tuning has increased our knowledge of which vines, in which vineyard blocks, produce the most exceptional fruit. It is all part of our process to find the ideal combination for our Clark-Claudon Estate Cabernet. Yet, we also found another beautiful blend that could not be ignored. It became our 2006 Three Stones.

Perfected far beyond our inaugural 2005 Three Stones, we gave it a new label and bottled it under the Clark-Claudon name. Yet, we chose to maintain the $48.00/bottle price. It is our hope that this incredible value will entice you to give the '06 Three Stones a try. You won't be disappointed.

TASTING NOTES

The '06 Three Stones is bright garnet in color, with aromas of ripe black cherries, brambly black berries, plums & toasty oak accompanied by hints of violets & dark chocolate. This wine is beautifully balanced while 2.5% Merlot softens the tannins & 2.5% Cab Franc contributes a rich, silky smooth mouth feel. The long finish assures that this is a very good Napa Valley Cab; a perfect wine for every day or special occasions.

REVIEWS

To date, we have only had our 2006 Three Stones reviewed by restaurateurs, wine shop owners & people like you. From our perspective, those are the opinions that really matter. The consensus; the 2006 Three Stones is better than many wines twice its price!
