Clark-Claudon Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Napa Valley 2011
BOOM! Utterly CLASSIC, brawny (but a bit mellowed at 9 years old) mountain Cab! Rip-roaringly well-priced, over 50% OFF! Heady, masculine Cabernet that is entering its PEAK, perfect, chilled-out power stage, like Brad Pitt in the new Tarantino movie.
A MUST for Cab drinkers (oh, and hurry, we have WAY less than usual…). Tom and Josh Clark have made their names as some of the finest vineyard managers in our Valley for many decades (way too many great wineries to list), and for some years have been making a POWERFUL, dark, intense Cabernet of their own from their Estate just on the backside of Howell Mountain. MOUNTAIN is the word, too -- this is not for the shy! Here are the winery notes, which we heartily agree on: “Deep garnet in color, this exceptional 2011, will entice your nose with delicious aromas of dark stone fruit, cured meats, spicy florals, and deep chocolate sauce. Full and rich in the mouth, the ’11 holds layers of rich ripe plums, baked rhubarb, cherries, milk chocolate and a hint of herbs all coming together in a long sumptuous finish. This very fresh wine, with seamless texture and very well integrated tannins is definitely a vintage that will show beautifully now and for years to come.”
Amazing to have a little to sell! Like we said, this drinks amazingly youthful -- rhubarb pie, plums, earth and spice and just killer freshness -- very mouthfilling and complex. And, uh….a simply outrageous buy -- man, it's great to be a local! How else would we turn up magic mountain maturity like this??? Will go in a flash...
