Parker said of the 2006 vintage, “A sweet, charcoal, roasted herb, and smoky, currant-scented nose is followed by a broad, ripe wine offering oodles of sweet red and black currant fruit as well as a hint of cherries. This dark ruby-hued, evolved 2006 is a blend of 62% Merlot and 38% Cabernet Sauvignon. It will provide sensual drinking over the next 6-8 years.”

The Graves is considered the birthplace of claret. Graves wine production for export dates back to Eleanor of Aquitaine, who married Henry II, King of England, creating a flourishing trade between both countries: wine versus coal and iron. In the Middle Ages, the wines that were first exported to England were produced in this area. At that time, the Médoc sub region north of the city Bordeaux still consisted of marshland unsuitable for viticulture, while Graves were naturally better drained.
