Category: CELLAR

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is composed of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, 1% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. It was aged for 22 months in French oak, 100% new. Medium to deep garnet in color, it needs a little coaxing to reveal profound notes of chocolate-covered mint, kirsch, blackcurrant pastilles and tobacco leaf with nuances of cedar chest, new leather and pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate is chock-full of black and red fruit flavors plus tons of earthy/savory accents and a firm yet plush texture, finishing with epic length and loads of provocative mineral and spice nuances. The stated alcohol is just 13.5%, but the intensity and energy of this wine make it seem weightier.

Julian B. ★★★★★

I was surprised how approachable this 2011 is already, with the 100% new French oak adding a nice layer of vanilla without overpowering the dark fruit. A great value for a Napa magnum that can easily be enjoyed now or cellared further.

Jason R. ★★★★★

Opened this for a milestone birthday and the 22 months in new French oak gave it a beautifully integrated, creamy texture. It’s still youthful with plenty of tannic structure, so I’ll be curious to see how it evolves over another five years.

Isabella N. ★★★★★

The blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon with the Malbec and Merlot gives this wine a really nice complexity. I opened a bottle with dinner and the dark fruit flavors lingered perfectly—definitely worth the cellar space.
