Tasted the 2011 vintage. Nose is white pepper, black olives, and violets. It was evidently a warm year and a strong year for the cab in the blend, according to the tasting room group. 77% cab, 19% merlot, 4% Malbec. Flavors were currant, olives and clove.

Ok. Nothing to write home about. Very young. No real lasting presence but was still nice with fillet steak.
