March 22, 2020 - Decanted for an hour, nose was a little muted, more fruited than floral. Against the backdrop of other vintages (this being possibly my favorite Napa Cabernet producer) I found it good but not great, and other 2011’s I’ve tasted like Greer have performed better. All the normal components were there, dark fruits, vanilla, oak and muted tannins but they just seemed subdued. I only purchased 2 of these and I’m not sure how it’s going to age, maybe I drank this one too young. Not tying to be Debbie Downer, could be my pallet was off, paired it with a grilled steak.
