2006 Cabernet Sauvignon

Last week, I came home to find my daughter painstakingly punching out a story about rabbits -- her current passion in life – for blind first and second graders on a borrowed Braille typewriter. I asked her if it was difficult to describe rabbits to young readers who could not visualize them. Her response was, “Daddy, when you love something so much, anything is easy!”

Well, we love what we do at Coup De Foudre Winery, and even if it isn’t always easy, we are delighted to offer you our third vintage release — the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon and 2006 Cuvee 37.2. Once again, our Stag’s leap Cabernet Sauvignon was blended with a small percentage of Syrah
from Heidi Barrett’s Santa Ynez vineyard, then aged 18 months in a combination of Tarransaud, Radoux and amba cooperage. Our Cuvee 37.2, produced in the Pomerol style, is a blend of 94% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc. Production levels for our 2006 vintage remained at 500
cases and 300 cases, respectively. We anticipate that allocations will be snapped up as briskly as the 2005 vintage, so we encourage you to secure yours as soon as possible. Any unclaimed allocations will be released to our waitlist customers on July 31, 2008. We will ship the 2006 wines
in August/September, weather permitting.
