Nov 10th, 2014Nice nose of cherries and raspberries. Excellent flavors of red berries, plums and raspberries along with some interesting hints of leather and stone. The tannins are sleek and very well integrated into this wine.

After having tasted a few 2011 CA. Cabs this past week, thought I'd pull one from an AVA & Producer I respect. This wine is to young to start drinking as you don't receive the nuances from it. After 6-Hr. Decant it became much more expressive, on the nose blackberry, a hint of cassis, oak, & vanilla. The palate was no quit what I remember from this wine. It was rich, but not as expansive. It had the layers of blackberry, chocolate, with a very faint hint of green herbs Suspect it is the 2011 vintage & youth.
