June 2, 2022 - This wine opened up over thirty minutes to be best in show. Popped and poured and was a little disappointed so recommend 30 minute decant. Dark fruit with great structure. I wish I had more!

November 1, 2020 - Last bottle of this 2011. Think it was a good time to pop it. Nose was great - came across like a nicely aged Bordeaux. Some pencil shavings. Lavender. Really nice.
Body is a little lighter than most Napa cabs. I think some of that is Aaron's style, and some of it is this vintage. But still very present through the finish. Not a lightweight in any respect. Very food friendly.
Aaron really did some nice winemaking with this vintage. Many other 2011's have a "green" note that is off-putting to me; no such issues here. I have very few 2011's left. And while I really think this is in a nice spot, could no doubt lay down for a few more years.1 person found this helpful Comment
