Most of the 13’s from Napa that I have had have been closed down and not very approachable. This Martinez Vineyard drinks well.

11' Purlieu Martinez Vineyard. Decanted for an hour. It could possibly be the best 2011 Napa Valley Cab I've had to date. Keep in mind I will not open the majority of the 2011's for another 1/3 years. Absolute amazing! This Vineyard is so underrated!!

Immense concentration of red fruit with great structure. One of the very best wines of the vintage.

One-dimensional but very well made Cabernet Sauvignon. Smooth and elegant with tannins that are perfectly smooth and enjoyable in the finish. A little boring and unsurprising but I cannot complain about the high quality, smooth palette, and fragrant nose on this polished Cabernet Sauvignon. Expensive at $95 but worth its price.
