Drying out cherries, black currants and plum skin, but really lovely leather, olive and cocoa nibs. Elegance from a vintage that wasn't a blockbuster but still proving that good wine can be made regardless of what nature tosses at you if it's a thoughtful process. In magnum. — 9 years ago

Much more reasonable club shipment makes me love it even more. 2011, limited release.
In 1878, Fritz H. Rosenbaum, a German stained-glass merchant living in San Francisco, and his wife Johanna, built a modern Gothic-Victorian style home on a knoll north of St. Helena. This house is now the tasting room for St. Clement. The first wines were vented in the stone cellars beneath the house, and Johannaberg Cellars became one of the earliest bonded wineries in Napa Valley. This 2011 Cabernet gives a classic example of Napa Valley and flows across the palate with layers of dark, seamless fruit. It is a soft, textured wine graced with soft, supple tannins and a silky personality. — 10 years ago
