Palmaz 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Palmaz / Napa Valley

Palmaz has struggled to break into the top ranks, and this 2006 does not advance their cause. It smells funky and vegetal, although it turns fairly rich in the mouth, with cherries, red licorice, cocoa and cedar. Doesn’t seem likely to improve over time.
