2011 OAKVILLE 1.5L

Layers of classic Cabernet aromas rise from the glass.  Black currant, blueberry, cassis, licorice, graphite, christmas spice, purple field flower and tobacco.  The palate is textured and rich and is marked by elegance and balance.  A pure and generous wine!  The 2011 vintage was challenging and not immediately embraced by critics.  Yet this vintage has evolved and is showing beautifully with some bottle age, revealing the drinkability and age-worthy potential of this wine.  It's rocking!
