Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Our 2011 Kelleher "Brix Vineyard" Cabernet Sauvignon is the most approachable vintage we have offered on release. Aromas of crushed violets and crème de cassis mingle with roasted espresso and shaved dark chocolate. The palate adds sweet Bing cherry fruit with complex layers of cola, star anise, clove and porcini powder. The richly textured, creamy mouthfeel leads to soft, ripe tannins on the long finish. It is enjoyable now but it will continue to improve over the next several years in bottle.
Vineyard Notes
All fruit is from our estate vineyard in the Oakville Appellation in the Napa Valley.
