Just a few pics of the wines from last night’s monthly 4th Friday. Too many bottles to try!
Another example of a delicious 2011 vintage. I think this vintage is drinking really well right now in regards to integration. Dark in the glass, but lighter in aromatics and palate. Baked mixed berry pie, rhubarb tart, cedar and sweet vanilla tobacco on the nose and palate. Good structure and still showing some tannin. The finish had potpourri, cassis and even some graphite. Drinking really well but think this could hold in this window for another few years.

Big, bold and transparent to its terroir. It breath, smells, feels and tastes like Napa. And this is what I love about it. Winemaking is not too invasive and the barrel use is present yet not overwhelming. I may be wrong but I feel a Michel Rolland influence here which is ok. Love that there is a great balance between juice, fruit and tannins seriousness. A delicious wine indeed.
