The 2006 Favourite Son Cabernet Merlot gives a deep garnet color and evolving earthy / meaty notes with some dried plums, warm cassis, thyme and tilled loam aromas. Very crisp with a medium level of very fine tannins, this concentrated, full bodied wine has a long finish. Drinking now, it should continue to cellar to 2015.
