Estimate
The fruit is dense, dark and detailed—an immaculate and thrilling wine, loaded with cassis, smoke and chocolate. The concentration, balance and length put it among the best Washington Cabernets of the vintage.
Taut and focused, offering a sleek mouthful of licorice-accented blackberry and coffee flavors that come together seamlessly on the polished finish. This has a sense of elegance.
...rich and textured, with a voluptuous mid-palate and texture. Showing classic Cabernet black currant, lead pencil, wild herbs and hints of spice, this full-bodied, elegant 2011 has excellent concentration and solid underlying tannic grip
...juicy, intense and tightly coiled in the mouth, communicating a cool-year delicacy to the flavors of blackberry, licorice and bitter chocolate.
