2011 is a wet vintage for Napa, but in the capable hands of top producers, it delivers a fresher, more classically styled bottling. This Prichard Hill is a great example.
The nose offers blackcurrant, violets, and graphite, with subtle hints of cedar and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is firmly structured, with fresh dark fruits, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Long mineral-driven finish. While not as deep and opulent as warmer years, it’s refined and elegant.

Decanted for 30 min. Deep, inky puple color. Loads of dark fruit... blackberries, blueberry, licorice, and sage. With a short decant, it is drinking beautifully now but zero rush to drink. This still has many more years left in the tank. — 2 months ago

9.0

Blend of Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot & Malbec. Deep Ruby, purple edges, youthful aromas of black fruit, spices, floral and flinty notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with some vanilla and tobacco and herbal notes. Vivid acidity, firm tight tannins with long finish ending with a vibrant character, a bit young, should benefit from bottle aging. — 11 days ago

Tart. Dry. Maybe it’s good but not for my taste fruit and bouquet pleasant to the senses. — 3 months ago
