The 2006 Napa Creek Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine that I have had some difficulty in finding information about.  I'm not sure what sub region it is from.  I am also unable to find the website for it.  Anyway that being said it is a very good wine.  It is very strong on the nose with blueberry jam.  To me it is not the typical California Cab because it is not over the top with the oaking of it.  It is very well balanced and has a nice silky smooth mouth feel to it.  I would rate it a solid 88-89 point Cab that is good buy for the money.  This particular bottle was a gift.  Prices I've found for it range in the $17-$20 range.  Not to say that you can't find it for $12-$15 online.  I would definitely buy this bottle and try it.  I would expect this wine to last about 1-2 years in its current state and wouldn't try laying it down any longer than that.  Enjoy the finer things.
