The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Annum is at its sweet spot for drinking, with a balance of red cherry and currant fruit with mature notes of graphite, dried meats, mushroom and cedar. A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc from the Oakville, Mt. Veeder and Diamond Mountain appellations, it has a medium weight and integrated tannins, and is just beginning to open to notes of olive and earth on the finish. A challenging vintage, David Ramey aged the 2011 in barrel for 19 months rather than his usual 26. 628 cases were made.
