  Tasted at the winery...due to time constraints I have little detail, but this was a tough year but with the help of some extra barrel aging this was pleasant and interesting, fruity and relatively light i.e. slightly translucent compared to the opaque 2009 and 2010. While less chewy than the prior vintages it still has great mouth feel and some nice secondary flavors. Good for sure over the next 5 years.
