2011 Bressler Cabernet Sauvignon Estate

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is striking. Dark plum, smoke, incense, graphite and menthol all jump from the glass. The aromas and flavors are expressive, fresh and vibrant. The cool, mineral-drenched tones show the potential of this site, especially in cool years. There is a lot to like here, not the least of which is the wine's balance.
