Encosta Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

This juice has real potential, but it has a creaky stairway that comes from the vintage. Nice oak profile, however, It’s stemy, and the tannins are underripe. But if you peer beyond those characteristics, I see something special. I want to look at the 12 or 13 vintages.

Big, deep and rich. If you like this style you'll be happy

Lots of red fruit, elegantly styled, lengthy finish. Delicious!

Really loving Gandona's 2011s. Quite elegant with great acidity and balance.

This Melka wine has held up very well.

Enjoying this wonderful Napa cab with friends in Norfolk. Smooth notes. Nice tobacco finish.

Just popped. $95 dean and deluca purchase. Letting it decant before I jump in on the worst vintage ever but was assured it was amazing.

Big fruit. High alcohol.

Neighbor wine, one of my fav '11s. Kudos Manny!

Very smooth. Delicious.
