Winemaker Notes
This is the fifth release of Priest Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon from the Somerston Estate. It shows aromas of dark chocolate, Blackberry, spice, and dark cherry. On the palate, the wine is smooth yet full bodied and refined, with ripe dark berries, juicy
chocolate, and a touch of spice.

Vinous
The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is soft, supple and in a perfect spot for drinking now. Succulent red cherry, plum, spice, licorice and new leather give this surprisingly fleshy 2011 a good deal of immediacy. The 2011 was gorgeous from barrel, and it is every bit as convincing today.

Priest Ranch wines are grown and made at the Somerston Estate in the Eastern Hills of Napa Valley. The eastern part of the Somerston property was originally settled by Joshua James Priest who arrived in California in 1849. Priest gained title to 638 acres of the Catacula land grant in Soda Valley and he and his descendants managed to hold on to most of the ranch for over a century. Today, all the Priest Ranch wines are 100% Estate Grown and made from selected vineyard blocks that express integrated and intensely rich, yet approachable qualities. Priest Ranch wines represent the diversity and richness of the Somerston Estate.
