Deep maroon in color. Black cherry, cassis, cocoa powder, cedar, and gravel on the nose. Juicy dark fruit on the palate with ripe, fine grained tannins, 14.1% alcohol, and good length. Sourced from multiple Napa Valley vineyards including Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper in Oakville. This is drinking well right now and is a very nice showing for the less than stellar ‘11 vintage. $100.

smell like lounge: intense nose of leather, smell of cigarette left in hair, cigar box, roast. Firm yet velvety tannin, high acidity, juicy cherry/ blackberry and hint of roast meat. outstanding wine for keeping
