Review:

Very Limited.

2006 Vintage Wine Spectator 95 points: Polished, round and focused, with a vibrant feel to the ripe black cherry, cassis, peach, herb and tar flavors, hinting at cocoa and spice as it all lingers harmoniously against velvety tannins. This has power but also refinement. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2012 through 2016. - H.S.

2005 Vintage Wine Advocate 95+ Points: The 2005 Cote Bonneville has everything that the 2004 has and more. It is a more structured effort and will benefit from 6-8 years of cellaring. If you don't know about this winery, it's time to get it in gear. Dr. Hugh and Kathy Shiels planted the DuBrul Vineyard a number of years ago and are now making wine under the Côte Bonneville label from their estate fruit. Review by Jay Miller.

2005 Vintage Wine Spectator 95 points: Polished, focused, and juicy, with bright red fruit flavors that mingle appealingly with hints of chocolate and cherry as the finish lingers expressively on a refined frame. There's an elegance to this, and a depth that only becomes apparent with successive sips. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now to 2016. 700 cases made. - H.S.

2004 Wine Spectator - 94 points - Lithe, supple, refined and focused, playing its mocha - accented blackberry and cherry fruit against silky tannins. The finish rolls on and on without losing its graceful sense of elegance. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2014. 450 cases made. - H.S.
