Oh how I love the 2011 Napa vintage!
The expressive nose is layered with cassis, blackberry, fig, violet, cedar, sage, and hint of loamy soil. The medium to full body is elegant, with almost perfect acidity that’s lively and precise - bright enough but never intrusive. Finely resolved tannins lead to a long savory yet lightly candied finish.
This is in its prime, yet has ample concentration and structure to hold plateau for another 5-8 years.
