The Martini family members have been friends of the Duke since we began operations in 1967. Close enough friends, in fact, that Michael Martini made special wines to help us celebrate our 20th, 25th, 30th and 35th anniversaries. Nobody was happier than we were when we noticed that Robert Parker awarded Louis M. Martini 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma, 90 points on his 100-point scale.

Crafted from several of Sonoma County's most prestigious appellations and blended seamlessly to bring together the unique characteristics of each, Martini has created a superbly balanced Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine offers many layers, featuring aromas and flavors of red cherry, blackberry and fresh sage with an underlying dry creek dustiness. Subtle herbal notes are complemented by additional layers of chocolate and vanilla, resulting in a complex, yet easy-drinking wine. Parker also notes: "One of the finest bargains in California Cabernet Sauvignon must be Louis M. Martini's outstanding 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma. Fabulously sweet aromas of black currants, licorice, and cedar soar from the glass of this medium to full-bodied wine. With silky tannins as well as surprising concentration, depth, and texture, this 2006 should drink well for 8-10 years. Now owned by the Gallo family, but still run by Michael Martini, the quality of these wines merits serious attention."

As happy as we were to see the quality of Martini's wine being recognized again, we are even happier to bring you this $20.00 wine at $14.99 each. Buy 6 or more and pay only $13.99 per bottle!!
