  Easily one of the best 2011 I had so far. Refined and smooth as it can get. Great job at Gandona! Go Portugal 🇵🇹😁

  The rating is based upon a comparison of other 2011 wines from Napa. This was a difficult year. The great winemakers found a way to create works of liquid beauty. 60 minute decant. Similar to my notes from 2021. The owner of Gandona is a really nice guy who works with one of the really nice guy consulting winemakers. How can you go wrong?

  Drank from a magnum. Drinking great & drink up. Minimal tannins, cassis, blackberry, smooth fruit, chocolate. Best time to drink is now.

  WOW! Great winemakers find a way to make great wines in a difficult year. This bottle was decanted for one hour before drinking over the next two hours. Dark fruit, violet, cedar, spice notes were so beautifully woven in a long taste profile (around 60 seconds). This wine is likely to stay in this window and just get a bit more sublime over the next decade.
