2011 in a nice place. Very soft, with classic lucious wood component. Showing a typical Napa darkness without the density. Proud of how it shows the vintage.

I'd fall in love with a woman wearing this as a perfume. Incredibly well balanced on the palate. Berries and cherries envelope and swaddle the tongue. Slightly tannic, but instantly drinkable. A long smooth finish follows each swallow. Treat yourself and the one you hold dear to this enticing elixir.

On the palate, lavender, mocha, cherry, blackberries, sage, and a leather finish. This would be best friends with a medium rare steak! #lifeisacabernet #winelife #winepuns #bigredwines
