Simi Cabernet Sauvignon-2006 (SL-A3356)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Anyone who loves California Cabernet is familiar with Simi, I’m sure. With a long history in wine-making going back to the last quarter of the 19th century, it’s no wonder Simi’s 2006 Cab from Alexander Valley is such a rich, supple, example of classic California Cabernet. Ruby red with aromas of plum, raisins, and dark berries, and flavors consisting of spice (perhaps mint), berries, and some cassis. Tannins are lush and silky and the wine has a lengthy and slightly tobacco finish. The Cab was aged 14 months in 38% new French oak, 25% new American oak. Steve Reeder is the winemaker. Highly recommended for its great taste and value; $16

Nearly 10 years old, this wine is still full and smooth. It is also showing enough structure that leads me to believe it could have another decade in it. Ripe flavors of plum and blackberries mix with hints of cassis, licorice and cocoa powder. 2 Notes

I tried this wine at Chateau Montelena during a weekend tasting and it was one of the better wines they had. I wasn't entirely impressed with their wine, but this Cab Sauv definitely stood out. I believe the Merlot was also very good, but I wasn't in the mood to buy two of their wines that day :/ 1 Note

A really nice Fair Trade wine, especially for the ten dollar price tag! Deeply fruity with strawberry and a hint of toast on the nose. The palate is smooth and mellow with hints of chocolate and a slightly tannic finish. But this is a good wine to finish on night one, the next day the wine was far too acidic. 1 Note
