Napa Valley, California, USA
This is Oak Knoll and a blend- lighter, dusty tannins but easy drinking. More red fruit than your typical cab. Aging fast but well.

This Napa Cab sits dark in the glass, emitting aromas of black cherry, cassis, anise, vanilla and some pencil lead. It’s a remarkably fresh wine, with a racy acidity and very firm tannins. Dark red fruit on the palate is layered with a savory backbeat which lingers on the lengthy finish.

Deep ruby color with viscous legs. Aromas of lavender, dried cherries, toasted oak, and vanilla. Medium + body, medium + tannins, with flavor notes of cassis, cherry, baking spice, and a dollop of cream. Medium + finish, with much potential to improve with additional bottle age.

Juicy and whiffing pierezynes, this little guy should've been left in his stable for a couple of more years. I appreciate the stylistic winemaking direction but it was not for me. I think 2011 was hard on a lot of people.

Makes me excited just smelling it. Elegant, complex, intense...delicious. A cool wet vintage with a good skilled winemaker is obvious. #employee

Paired with steak. Balanced, full bodied, black fruit notes. Oddly reminded me of the EPIC steakhouse Napa vintage...?
