Medium purple fading to a ruby/garnet rim. Medium tearing. Ripe, fresh, and jammy blackberry, strawberry, raspberry. Green pepper, jalapeno, black pepper. Savory spices. Rutherford "dust" and mustyness. Hint of oak. Smoke, chocolate. On the palate, leaner than most Napa cabs. 2011 was a cool, wet year. Fruit is still dominant. Smoke, earth. Medium-plus body, tannin, acidity, and alcohol. Overall, showing it's age in the best of ways. Rich fruit, great secondary and tertiary characteristics. Very enjoyable.
