The 2006 vintage is a beautiful wine. It strikes just the right balance between ripeness and freshness. You’ll recognize the sweetness and comfort of a typically warm Napa vintage, yet it is still tightly wound around a solid core. The herbal and floral notes that are the signature of the Cain Vineyard, and now with age, additionally tobacco and spice. The 2006 Cain Five, delicious today, demonstrates just how well the Cain Five can age. It has a very long life ahead.

Hand-picked, destemmed with no obsessive sorting, native yeast fermentation, and manual pressing. The wine completed malolactic fermentation in the barrel, was blended early, and, following a careful élévage finishing with a gentle egg white fining, was bottled without filtration.

Cain Vineyard & Winery overlooks St. Helena from the top of Spring Mountain in the western mountains of Napa Valley. The estate vineyard is planted to the classic set of five varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot.
