Another excellent Andrew Will--purchased 3 btls @ $34 from Apex with case discount, a very fine price. Color is beautiful ruby purple with a deep nose of violet and blackberry and a bit of cedar and spice. The finish was long but also hot for the first hour, then faded more into the background. Balanced, complex and beautiful with certainly 15-20 years ahead, as it will develop plenty more bottle bouquet and it will knit together nicely indeed. I'd give it 94 points. See also my later post on the 2002 Sorella.
Parker says the same points 94
The 2006 Sorella, produced from Block 1 of the Champoux Vineyard, is the winery flagship. Saturated purple in color, the perfume is a complex amalgam of pain grille, scorched earth, espresso, black currant, blackberry, and licorice. This leads to a supple-textured wine with layers of ripe fruit, outstanding depth and concentration, considerable elegance, and a long, pure finish. It will evolve for 8-10 years and provide pleasure through 2030.
