Score 93/100 · Drink 2013-2021, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2013

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Actaeon Quixote Vineyard, from the Quixote vineyard in Stags Leap, is full of detail, nuance and juiciness. Blackberries, grilled herbs, licorice and new leather meld together in a supple, inviting Cabernet loaded with Stags Leap character. Sweet spice and violet notes wrap around the juicy, generous finish.

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Actaeon Quixote Vineyard is striking in its beauty. All the hallmarks of this site in the Stags' Leap District come through in spades. Layers of black fruits, spices and melted road tar all flow through to the tense, vibrant finish. The 2011 isn't too far off from the 2010, which is pretty much the highest compliment I can pay.

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Actaeon Quixote Vineyard is striking in its beauty. All the hallmarks of this site in the Stags’ Leap District come through in spades. Layers of black fruits, spices and melted road tar all flow through to the tense, vibrant finish. The 2011 isn’t too far off from the 2010, which is pretty much the highest compliment I can pay. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. I was deeply struck by Aaron Pott’s wines this year. The 2010s are terrific, but the bigger story, at least today, is how promising the 2011s are. Pott sources fruit from a handful of top sites, including Stagecoach (on the Pritchard Hill-Atlas Peak border), Quixote (Stags’ Leap) and Greer (Rutherford). Tel. (707) 226-3277
