2011 Tudal Winery Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

100% Cabernet Sauvignon – St. Helena

A deep garnet color, this vintage was aged in 20% New French Oak and offers aromas of ground coffee beans with hints of bright red cherry and ripe plum and dried thyme on the palate.  A combination of the “Old Vine” and River Vineyards gives an earthy complexity. 

Rare rainy harvest proved it can happen; few sunny spots, variable quality

 Wine Spectator Vintage 86/100
