The 2006 Little Ox spent 20 months in seasoned barriques before bottling without fining or filtration. It is opaque purple in color with a superb nose of mineral, cedar, blackberry, and blueberry. Rich and layered, it will evolve for several years but can be enjoyed now. It is an outstanding value. Importer: Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel. (714) 892-3030
