Evocative aromas of pure Cabernet, red cherry and brambleberry meld with holiday spice, dark chocolate and caramel. The entry is rich, with plentiful dark fruit gently shaped by round tannins and lifted by a bright acidity into a complete and balanced wine. There is a powerful density to the mid-palate that resonates through the lingering finish. It’s a vintage marked by its power, elegance, balance and affinity for food. Enjoy now or cellar to reveal the ultimate beauty of this wine. Drink 2014 – 2029.

The 2011 vintage was cool and late, with greater than average rainfall (63 vs 46 inch norm). Warm temperatures at harvest brought the grapes to full physiological maturity, producing bright and pure varietal character. For the fourth consecutive vintage, yields were very low, only one ton per acre, as compared to the normal average of 1.5 tons.
