From a vineyard made famous by Larry Turley when he was buying Zinfandel off this vineyard (which looks a lot like the stone-strewn vineyards of Chateauneuf du Pape), the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Aida Estate (95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot) is a rarity... an outstanding valley floor offering in 2011. Roasted herbs, Provencal garrigue, sweet black currants and cherries as well as plenty of peppery spice are all present in this medium-bodied, lush, sensual Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink it over the next 8-10 years.
