Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2011 Ribbon Vale Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon offers notes of cassis, fresh blackberries and plums with touches of cedar, pencil lead and cloves. Medium-bodied, it fills the palate with ripe blackberry and toasty flavors that are supported by medium to firm, grainy tannins and just enough acid to hold it up through the long finish. Drink it now to 2021+.  91+ Points.
