bella vetta's 2005 was very good. this 2006 is easily on a par. it's a ripe, plush wine, filled with blackberry, currant and sweet oak flavors with a savory tease of leather that may be a touch of brett, but it acts as a spice. and look how modern techniques have tamed those fierce howell mountain tannins. the mouthfeel is sheer velvet.
