Tasting notes
The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Ganymede Vineyard has aged well. There is still enough depth and density to support another decade or so in the cellar. Dark cherry, spice, lavender, rose petal and savory herbs give this brooding and potent Stags Leap Cabernet a good deal of nuance and complexity. The 2011 finishes with a closing punch of intensity. Impressive.

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Ganymede Vineyard is seriously beautiful. Graphite, sweet herbs and violets open up in the glass, followed by tobacco, mint and dark fruit. The 2011 is reluctant to show all of its cards. Today it is dark, mysterious and imposing. The finish alone is drop-dead gorgeous, but readers will have to be patient. Those who can wait will be rewarded with a fabulous bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.
