The 2006 is a good follow-up to the winery’s 2005; both offer sweet, pleasing fruit—strawberries and cherries—and fairly substantial tannins. The 2006 is less earthy and herbal than the previous version, but the acids seem chalky and a bit out of whack at the moment. Give this one plenty of airing out.——P.G.(2/1/2008)—— 86
