Napa California cellar treat. 2011 Vineyard 29 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate St. Helena. Mid-garnet, brick edges; berry, black fruit, cassis, mint and vanilla nose (18 months in French oak); balanced; mid-big body; semi-tight; long semi-chewy fruity finish; nice depth. 17-17.5 UC Davis, 92-93 other scales.

Another example of a Napa 2011 (in general the 2011s were roundly trashed by WS) now tasting excellent. I give the vintners credit--they said it would happen.

Well structured and balanced. Tannins were smooth. Vanilla, chocolate and oak were the backbone. Dark red, almost purple in the glass.
