Frank Family Vineyards Winston Hill 2011

VM95: The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Winston Hill offers up graphite, licorice, black cherry, menthol, chocolate and blackberry. A huge wine, the 2011 possesses an intensely savory, minerally bouquet reminiscent of a great St. Estèphe married to a huge core of dark fruit. The aromatics are starting to head into the tertiary realm, but the 2011 has the density to age well for another 5-10 years. This is a super-impressive showing.
