The heavy bottle is impressive. The wine will blow you away.

Prepare yourself for one of the most powerful, most food friendly Napa Cabernets to hail from the difficult 2011 vintage. Today’s Priest Ranch 2011 Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep, delicious delight.

Here’s what Robert Parker and Antonio Galloni each have to say about the wine:

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Somerston Vineyard exhibits pleasant, straightforward, red and black currant notes intermixed with underbrush, tobacco leaf and spice box. Elegant, medium-weight and soft, it should be drunk over the next 7-8 years. - (RP) Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Priest Ranch jumps from the glass with freshly cut flowers, sweet dark berries and spices. A vinous, inviting wine, the 2011 shows excellent balance and plenty of potential for the future. This is a terrific effort for the year. - Antonio Galloni, 88-91 Points
