A blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot and 21% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet-purple-colored 2011 Jewelstone Antoine opens with aromas of black plums, blackberry preserves and creme de cassis with nuances of mocha, pencil savings and spice box. Medium-bodied and tautly fruited in the mouth, the dark berry and cedar-laced flesh is well framed by medium to firm, fine-grained tannins and lively acid. It finishes with great length. Drink it now to 2021+.
