Pina, Yountville (Napa Valley) Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Sep 3, 2014

By Rich Cook

I haven’t tasted the Piña wines since the 2008 vintage, and I’ve missed them. This bottling is delightful, showing bright blackberry, raspberry, plum, fall spice, mild dried herbs and an interesting meaty note in both aroma and flavor. It’s rich and full on the palate with firm grip and solid acidic structure that keep the finish lingering long with nice integration of all the elements. It’s delicious on its own and is ready for your favorite roast — beef or duck will do the trick.
