Discover the acclaimed 2011 Vecina Proprietary Red Blend, a profound expression of Napa Valley’s legendary Oakville terroir from the revered Vine Hill Ranch vineyard. Crafted as a sophisticated Bordeaux-style blend, this collector’s gem has gracefully entered its prime drinking window, revealing remarkable complexity that evolves in your glass.
Experience a beautifully layered bouquet where dark cherry and blackcurrant intertwine with distinctive savory notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and iron—a signature of Oakville’s exceptional soils. On the palate, velvety tannins frame medium-bodied elegance, balancing Pauillac-inspired earthiness with hints of cocoa powder and dried herbs. Critics consistently praise its stunning depth: James Suckling highlights its “terracotta and berry character,” while Wine Advocate notes its “opulent, juicy” structure reminiscent of fine Left Bank Bordeaux.
Perfectly cellared for over a decade, this 94+ point-rated Napa Cabernet blend offers immediate enjoyment yet possesses the structure to develop beautifully through 2031+. At 14.5% alcohol, it delivers concentrated flavor without heaviness—an ideal companion for prime rib or mushroom risotto.
