2011 was okay. Not as full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon as I like but drinkable. Tart opening with lingering tannins.

Deep inky purple, showing some maturity, crisp acidity, full bodied--tannin firm, and off dry. Strong toasted / jammy flavor. Long across palate with a nice finish. I like it. Very typical big Cali cab but not abrasive. Would age well. A bit tight at first--needs time to open up.

Deep fruity flavors with hints of oak. A more gently crafted table wine that keeps well for a few days after corking.
