Elegant 2011 five-grape blend favors finesse over power.

Restrained approach yields bright red cherry aromatics with cedar undertones. Supple tannins frame dark plum and graphite minerality. Herbal nuances emerge mid-palate alongside leather notes. Finish shows surprising length for the delicate style. Drinking beautifully now with subtle complexity that rewards attention.

🍷 You want Napa refinement without the sledgehammer approach most producers favor.
