2011 Rivers-Marie Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is gorgeous in this vintage. In 2011, the straight Napa Valley bottling also included the Corona, which Brown didn‰۪t feel was strong enough on its own, although it adds considerable mid-palate pliancy here. The 2011 boasts striking depth, radiance and balance, all in the mid-weight style of the year. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2021. (AG)
