Score 90/100 · Drink 2009-2029, Robert Parker, Dec 2009

The 2006 Profile (82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc) is a beauty. The sweet, ripe tannins nicely frame this large-scaled, full-bodied wine. Its opaque ruby/purple color is followed by a fragrant bouquet of tobacco leaf, spice box, white chocolate, black currants, and plums. Deep, full-bodied, expansive, and savory, it will be even better after several more years of bottle age, and should easily last for two decades or more. This is an impressive group of wines from Merryvale Vineyards, a winery whose offerings I have not tasted for many years. Tel. (707) 963-2225
