IMHO the 2011 was a tough year for the Napa Valley. I have had several wines from some prominent producers and the 2011's did not match up to their previous vintages, but this one is doing well.
Dark purple with limited clarity and a nose that is soft and filling with red cherry, blackberry, cigar box and baking spice.
Nicely balanced with the same fruits and spices on the palate. This was good to enjoy alone or with a steak that just came off the grill.
Quite tasty!
