2011 was not a stellar year in Napa but you would not know that drinking this gorgeous 11 year old cabernet. The wine is still very youthful and fruit driven although secondary characteristics are starting to show. The wine is massive but balanced with all the components being well integrated. One bottle remaining which will wait another 5-10 years, though it will evolve many more
Nose sweet dark cherry mint chocolate smoke herbs
Taste sweet massive tannins hidden by massive dark fruit lots of white pepper touch of mint nice freshness the finish that goes on forever or at least until the next sip
