2011 Harris Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Jake’s Creek Vineyard Napa Valley

Sweet tobacco, licorice, mint, fennel, smoke and incense lead to a core of dark fruit in the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Jake’s Creek Vineyard. The softest and most approachable of the Harris 2011s, the Cabernet Sauvignon Jake’s Creek Vineyard is beautiful, expressive and open today, with distinctly savory notes and plenty of vintage 2011 energy.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aging: 20 months in 85% New French Oak. Production: 245 Cases
Jake’s Creek Vineyard
This 2.5 acre dry farmed vineyard makes full use of our wonderful weather. With a creek running the length of its east side its alluvial soils produce an elegant full bodied wine with wonderful earthy and dark fruit characteristics. Planted in 1998 to clone 337 Cabernet Sauvignon, Jake’s Creek is almost always our last vineyard pick of the season.
