Green pepper, vanilla, and black fruit on the nose. Can taste a little age, with earth and tobacco. Moderate tannins, although while not overwhelming by any means, they are still pretty sharp in character. Probably in its drinking window, but could still go another 3 years.

Elegant wine. At or slightly past its optimal drinking window. Nice fruit. Balanced, with very subtle tannin. Red fruit and tobacco. Only the very slightest hint of the 2011 vintage "vegetal" taste. Not great, but a nice wine.

Not a great vintage for Napa/Sonoma. That being said this wine is still very drinkable. Blue & red fruits, tobacco, lots of alcohol on the finish. Even after 4 hours of air that alcohol heat never dwindled. A bit disappointing for a premium cab.
