From a cool terroir, the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot) reveals notions of bay leaf, chocolate, creamy oak, earth, and red fruits along with soft tannins and medium to full body. It should drink well for 15+ years. Winemaker Philippe Melka brings a French savoir-faire to Napa Valley’s gorgeous fruit.

About the Producer
In the whimsical world of wine, Roy Estate unfurls its tale, starting in 1999 when founding vintners Shirley and Charles Roy took the plunge. They weren't just dreaming of making wine; they were on a quest for greatness! With a twinkle in their eyes, they scoured the Napa Valley for the perfect spot, roping in the valley's finest vineyard whisperers to plant vines and conjure up wines fit for royalty.
Fast forward to today, and the torchbearers of this vinous adventure are none other than Stephany Maillery and Stephan Crétier. With a nod to tradition and a gleam of innovation, they've taken the reins, ready to pen the next thrilling chapter in Roy Estate's saga of sublime winecraft. Cheers to them and the legacy they continue to cultivate!
