"The 2006 Martha’s Vineyard is just about to be released from the winery and it shows excellent potential. Like all recent vintages of this bottling, the 2006 weighs in around 14.5 percent alcohol, but out of the blocks it carries its ripeness with no signs of heat at all. The beautiful nose is deep, pure and still quite primary, as it offers up scents of cherries, eucalyptus, tobacco smoke, really lovely soil tones and a touch of spicy new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and really possesses a very elegant and rock solid core of fruit, with ripe tannins, excellent focus and balance and a very long, tangy and youthful finish. This will be a lovely bottle, but I would give it a full decade in the cellar to allow its secondary layers of complexity to emerge from behind its significant structure. At this very early stage, it looks to be a classic vintage of Martha’s Vineyard in the making."
