Along the same lines, yet more structured and with classic Red Mountain style, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain offers up loads of dark fruits, mineral, smoked earth, chocolate and dusty minerality to go with a medium to full-bodied, rich and structured profile on the palate. Showing notable tannin, as well as solid length on the finish, it’s an impressive Cabernet that will drink well for 10 to 15 years.
Another fine lineup of well-made wines from Mike Januik.
