About the Wine: I am not optimistic about the prospect of 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon. Some Cabs age for years, even decades before they reach maturity. Then again, some Cabs are meant to be drunk young. It all depends on the terroir, the strain of the grape, and the skill of the wine master.
About THIS Wine: It is ruby red in the glass with a pink rim. Jammy red fruit defines the nose, though notes of green herbs are also present. The fruit delivers on the palate but gives way to a vegetable quality that lingers in a finish that is dry but not overly so.
Drinking This Wine: This is fine for a sipping wine. It is not big or bold enough for really heavy red meat dishes but would do well with beef and rice or a stew.
Overall Impression: You can definitely pay more and do worse. This wine is good for the price.
