"The 2011 Mountain Estate Vineyard is dark, juicy and expressive, especially within the context of the year. Dark cherry, plum, smoke, tobacco, spices and earthy notes meld together in the glass. The 2011 is pliant and wonderfully open today. It is an excellent choice for drinking over the next decade or so. These hillside vineyards on the family's Spring Mountain property seem to have handled the challenges of the vintage better than the vineyards in Napa Valley, perhaps because of the higher elevation and warmer microclimate relative to sites on the valley floor."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
A large, geographically varied California region producing cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay near the coast and richer Zinfandel and Cabernet inland. Its wines range from elegant to bold.
An aromatic red grape lending perfume, red fruit and a leafy, savory edge. It thrives in the Loire and as a key blending partner in Bordeaux, especially Saint-Emilion.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
