Hail Oberon!
Cab Sauvignon
Bursting upon
Us like the dawn
And like a swan
Near a salon
Cab Sauvignon
Will carry on
Serve on the lawn
Play Elton John
Find whereupon
Your sadness gone
Two Oberon
Cab Sauvignons
Like fine bullion
To a dragon
In short, be gone
You set-upons!
Run to Oman!
Exchange your yuan!

Enjoy and bond
We've made you yawn.
And raise your spawn
Maybe they’ll be blonde
The color on

Features
2006 Oberon Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Magnum 1.5L 2-Pack
After the grapes were gently hand-harvested, de-stemmed and crushed, the juice fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with an extended post-fermentation maceration that beautifully married flavors and tannins, giving our Oberon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon its lovely, seamless texture. Malolactic fermentation in barrel, combined with 18 months aging in French oak barrels, further concentrated the wine’s rich cherry, dark berry and cassis flavors, adding subtle nuances of toasted vanilla and toffee. Enjoy this lovely Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with steak, lamb and duck dishes, as well as flavorful cheeses.
Vintage 2006: Napa Valley’s 2006 grape growing season was nearly textbook, marked by consistently outstanding, high-quality, abundant crops. Bloom and set-on-the-vine occurred a few weeks later than usual because of cool and wet weather that lasted well into Spring, but by June the vines were back on track. In mid-July, a record-setting heat wave lasted about ten days, but due to the earlier delays, the damage to the grapes was nearly non-existent. In fact, most growers agree that the heat helped where they should be in a “typical” growing. The weather returned to normal and the grapes were able to ripen in ideal conditions until harvest began in early September.
