I’ve always had a hard time at sleeping at night after I let someone screw themselves over by selling them a case of expensive, crappy Cabernet they asked for and think is good. I get over it when the processing company kicks me the money two days later, but it still makes me feel dirty. Not like “I-screwed-Quagmire’s-dad-dirty”, just good old fashioned “I-can’t-believe-I-just-did-that-dirty.” That is not the case here. You should feel like a dirty lowlife if you have the money and don’t buy this wine. This is, in my humble opinion, the best new winery in California, showing GREATNESS in ALL of their wines. This property is next to the legendary Peter Michael Vineyards which you won’t see wines from unless you’re on their mailing list or in some expensive dining establishment. This spot in Knights Valley is magical and produces wines of incredible quality. These guys aren’t interested in making a lot of wine, just the best wines possible.  While there’s a lot of hype on the 2007 vintage, this uncommonly great 2006 is so damn awesome I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I didn’t tell you about it. The grapes are grown in three different types of volcanic soils producing fruit with great concentration and complexity when blended together. The wine is an awesome color of purple-rimmed-ruby-red with a nose of violet, cassis, black cherry, tobacco, bittersweet chocolate, and a reminiscent whiff of the rocks where the stressed vines reside. Like all great wines, the flavors on the palate are a more amplified version of the bouquet delivering the same nuances from beginning to end which can take a while because of the very long and expansive finish. It is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 100% new French oak barrels, with a reasonable alcohol level of 14.5%, and I guarantee, 100% completely awesome.
