July 18, 2021 - Not bad but a little hot for me.
May 2, 2021 - Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, Diamond Mountain District, 2011 Coho Cabernet Sauvignon Summit Vine Ranch ($31 in 2015). Similar impressions to previous notes. Dark purple, viscous; ripe grape, cedar, black fruit, leather nose; mid-big body; tight tannins still; deep fruit; long, semi-hard, hot (14.5 alc.) finish. w/flank steak. 16.5 UC Davis scale, 91 other scales.
December 16, 2020 - Subtle berries on the nose, light fruit and prunes. Not past prime. Likely in its wheelhouse now.
July 5, 2020 - Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, Diamond Mountain District, 2011 Coho Cabernet Sauvignon Summit Vine Ranch ($31 in 2015). Mid-dark garnet, brick edges; herbaceous, ripe grape, black fruit, cassis and wood nose; mid-big body; mid-plus tannins; long, hot (14.5 alc.) chewy finish. w/beef. 16.5 UC Davis scale, 91 other scales.
October 14, 2019 - Decanted for an hour. Did not enjoy this as much as I did a year ago.
July 1, 2019 - This bottle's arriving into a peak plateau. Nose of lapin cherry with graphite and vitamins, same on palate. Mouth-filling, silky tannins, nice finish. Drink or hold thru 2025.
August 30, 2018 - Good showing. Andouzed the bottle about four hours in advance, and found the usual Napa cab suspects barely into secondary development. Loads of structure--supports my original theory of 2025 or beyond.
April 1, 2018 - Past peak. Fruit fading. Drink up!
July 21, 2017 - First crack at this wine since March 2016, and it has improved significantly. Now has the depth and finish I would have expected based on others' reviews. Concentrated fruit core with mint and oak, as others have noted. Substantial finish, and just as good on day 2 with Vacuvin. Seems to me this is just starting to get into its prime, and likely has many years left.
July 2, 2017 - A gem value from the 2011 vintage. Quoting another CTer, who nailed it: "dark garnet; spice, mint, cassis, oak nose; mid-big body; tight tannins". Lots of depth and class.
