As most of you know, it is tough finding a California Cabernet Sauvignon (from Sonoma no less, not just some California “mutt” blend from grapes harvested all over the state) of really great quality for less than $30 (let alone this gem at $12). For those of you who agree with me, this is your wine.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate agrees that the 2006 Louis Martini Cabernet Sauvignon is a fantastic value.
Rating the wine 90 points in the December 2008 issue, he states: “One of the finest bargains in California Cabernet Sauvignon must be Louis M. Martini’s outstanding 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma. Fabulously sweet aromas of black currants, licorice, and cedar soar from the glass of this medium to full-bodied wine. With silky tannins as well as surprising concentration, depth, and texture, this 2006 should drink well for 8-10 years.”
Louis Martini Winery has a long history in California winemaking.
Opening his Napa Valley operation in 1933, Louis Martini was a vibrant, energetic young man who believed that the greatest wines could only be made from the highest quality grapes. In order to cultivate these quality grapes, he needed the best vineyard sites he could find. He discovered that land in both Napa and Sonoma counties. He stated often… “my heart is in Napa, but my soul is in Sonoma,†and put both his heart and soul into his wines. This “heart and soul” philosophy has continued with his grandson as winemaker and can be tasted in this wonderful 2006 Louis Martini Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma.
