Dec 19th, 2016Ladera is my go to cab. The high plateau is a great wine that never disappoints. It's a young 2011. Classic Napa style cab, pnp over a few hours. Currants and oak on the nose. Good medium bodied mouthfeel with gripping tannins. Definitely improves with air. I had some '98 5-6 years ago and it was sublime. I'm holding some '03 and '05 as well as some '06 Howell mountain magnums. Time will be kind to this vintage as well.
