The ratio is 74 percent Merlot with a remainder of Cabernet Sauvignon, all aged 24 months in small French oak (Allier) barrels. Grown in the Pickberry Vineyard on the slopes of Sonoma Mountain, the final results of the wine offer an astonishingly deep red color with a deep and complex aroma.
The March 2010 Wine Enthusiast awarded the 2006 Pickberry 94 points, saying, "Quite a noble, interesting wine that bears comparing with the best of Napa Valley. The flavors are somewhat herbal, with a sage and tobacco edge to the blackberries, dark chocolate and graphite. Feels classy and important."
