Category: CABERNET SAUVIGNON

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Rock Terrace is composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec and 1% Merlot. It was aged for 22 months in French oak, 100% new. Medium to deep garnet in color, wonderfully sprightly black and blue fruit notes come bounding out of the glass—blueberry pie, crème de cassis and baked plums—with hints of camphor, chocolate box, pencil shavings, unsmoked cigars and cardamom. The medium-bodied palate has wonderful harmony and fantastic freshness, delivering a compelling ferrous character among the spicy black fruit preserves, finishing long and savory.

John M. ★★★★★

Opened this bottle with dinner last night, and the 22 months in new French oak really shows — there's a smooth vanilla backbone that makes the dark fruit flavors linger. It's medium-bodied but has surprising depth for a 2011.

Benjamin ★★★★★

The blend of 92% Cabernet with Malbec and Merlot gives this a nice complexity, and the color is a deep, beautiful garnet. It's rich and smooth, a real treat for a special dinner.

Christopher E. ★★★★★

The 22 months in all new French oak really shows in the smooth, integrated tannins — this medium-to-deep garnet wine is drinking beautifully right now.
