@Landon Donley how was this? I’ve loved the ‘12, ‘13, and ‘14 and have a line on a great deal on the ‘11.

Landon Donley

Yes, buy it, although I am partial because I helped make it. It is one of the best 2011’s Napa Cabs I have tasted. The wine needs about a 30 min. decant and the fruit really starts to show and only gets richer. This wine is a great merry of both primary and secondary flavors.

Well that’s embarrassing... 😣. Thanks for the insight. I’ll grab those bottles. Happy Holidays! PS. Really nice work on the ‘12 - ‘14s!!! 😀
