2006 DuBrul Vineyard Reserve

High in extract, with scents of mocha, roasted plum and meat, this rich blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and franc wraps around your nose like a blanket. But for all its intensity, the wine has tremendous drive on the palate, its flavors bright and energetic, guided and lengthened by firm, fine-grained tannins. For a lean cut of beef, slow roasted.
