  I am not a stranger to Cabernet/Syrah blends. Often it is the Syrah that demands extra patience for aging. In the notes on this wine I didn't see many people who had aged this wine out nearly long enough.
  It is only just coming into its own with the Cabernet silky smooth and the Syrah adding multi-layered complexity, minerality, dark fruit and
  floral notes. It could continue to improve and open up.

  Pretty surprising for a less expensive 2011 Napa Cab. Good cocoa and dark fruit on nose and palate. Paired up well with grilled flank steak. Not sure how long it will age.

  Saw suggested drinking dates ended this year. This wine could last a couple more years in the cellar but didn't need to mellow any longer. Was smooth, robust and delicious.
