Wine Advocate
“The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Ai (which means indigo in Japanese) is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot and equal parts Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Spicy and tart with red and black currant, licorice, loamy soil, and earthy characteristics... Heidi Barrett produces these wines for proprietor Kenzo Tsujimoto, better known as the CEO of the Capcom group.” (12/2008)

This 3,800-acre property is a first and foremost a stunning nature preserve and retreat, with only 4% of the acreage planted to vine. According to the winery, "ai represents the color indigo in the Japanese language, an element used in textile dyeing for thousands of years. Indigo is a rare commodity, just as the wine that bears its name, and with aging, both evolve and soften in texture and expression. Selected from the most superb blocks of Cabernet Sauvignon and enhanced by additional Bordeaux components, ai is the boldest expression of the estate’s vineyard potential."
