The 2006 Chertsey Cabernet Blend is made up of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc with the wine aged for 24 months in new French oak. Purple in color with an expressive nose of toasty oak, pencil lead, black coffee, black currant, and blackberry, on the palate this full-bodied wine reveals complexity and excellent balance. Bordeaux-like, elegant, and poised, it will continue to improve over the next 4-6 years and offer a drinking window extending from 2014 to 2026.
