2011 Switchback Ridge Peterson Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa

(90 Points  --  Vinous)

A blend of clones 7 and 337; includes 4% petite sirah): Good deep red-ruby. Perfumed aromas of currant, espresso and smoky, nutty oak, plus a hint of prune. Suave, dense and juicy, showing a milk chocolatey quality that reminded me of merlot. Plenty of sweet oak here but has enough supporting currant fruit. (ST)   Review Date: 05/2014
