Due to some extreme temperatures across the country, we strongly advise all shipping orders to go Fedex 2nd day air to avoid damage to your order. If you choose not to ship 2nd day, we will ship during weather permitting times. This could mean that your shipment will be postponed for a month or longer until temperatures warm back up.

The 2006 Cumberland Reserve is a multi-appellation blend from the following vineyards: Bergström, de Lancellotti, Shea, Nysa, Durant, Temperance Hill, Anderson, Palmer Creek, Cherry Grove, Pelos Sandberg, Kalita, Lia's, Bishop Creek and Vigna Giovanni. Each vineyard harvested, vinified and barrel-aged separately until blending in Mid-August of 2007. 60% new French Oak, primarily Meyrieux and François Freres coopers. The color is deep ruby red with pale reflections of pink at the rim of the glass. On the nose you will find bright and youthful aromas of bright red cherry, red currant, chocolate and sweet spices such as clove, cinnamon and vanilla. These aromas echo in the generous mouthfeel with bright red berry and high-toned sweet spices finishing with good acid and fine tannins and a healthy amount of ripeness, characteristic of this warm vintage.
Decantation/aeration highly recommended for consumption during 2007-2008 time span. Drink now through 2012. This wine can be purchased through our tasting room, our website and the National market.
