TOP CALIFORNIA WINE OF 2009, and "Number One Tasters' Choice Selection"
The Wine Advocate and Robert Parker-Online
Rated 98 Points
Marston Family, 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley
Intense inky hue with a black garnet rim. Aromas of campfire, bacon fat, leather and vanilla mingle with an uplifting menthol nuance. Zaftig blackberry and raspberry fruit flavors with notes of graphite, baker’s chocolate and drying, fine-grain tannins. Lengthy cherry-chocolate finish with a lingering smoky nuance. An exceptional, well-made Cab and a prime example of Spring Mountain fruit at its best.

2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Barrel Sample). 94 points.The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon is even more impressive. The tannins are sweeter, the acids slightly lower, and the wine just oozing with black currant and blueberry fruit intermixed with hints of acacia flower, anise, and some underbrush. A wine of great intensity and beautiful purity in a flowery, mountain berry style, it is opulent, full-bodied, and long. This wine will be delicious upon release and drink gorgeously for 15+ years.
