Very enjoyable and fruit forward. At this age, PnP was no problem for tannins as they are a modest dusting, while the fruit shows no signs of trailing off. At peak?

I used this bottle as a 'cellar defender' when I was in the mood for something good and it did not disappoint. This wine is no where near its peak however. 90+

Unfortunately drunk a week ago with too many other wines but impression was excellent. Wowed the Napa big wine crowd too, but seemed really balanced in my recollection.

Dark inky purple. Nose dark fruited with violets and flowers, some baking spice. Palate juicy, hint of brambles, raspberry, some spicy hints, nice texture. We really enjoyed this, went well with grilled meats, accessible and open even with “one shots” with my uncle. 92 pts

Spice and purple flowers on the nose, black fruit, touch of saline, enjoyable acid and higher tannins levels. There's a rich plushness that make this very quaffable, a surprising but welcome experience for a 2011.
