Ramey - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Larkmead Vineyard 2006 (750ml) Garrido FinoProfessional Reviews 93 points Vinous, Review Date: 05 2009 Glass staining ruby. Deep, youthfully brooding cassis and dark cherry on the nose, with a strong licorice note building in the glass. Sappy black and blue fruit flavors are framed by dusty tannins and energized by a tangy mineral note. The licorice quality repeats on the finish, which is broad, sappy and impressively persistent. For a big boy, this is pretty graceful. (ST) 92+ points Wine

The wine opens with toasted oak notes accompanied by ripe red fruits and underlying hints of tobacco
