The 2011 Lock, Stock & Barrel is composed of 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot (harvested from Organized Crime Winery) that was aged in French and American oak barrels for a total of 11 months before bottling. The wine has intense aromas of prune, black cherry, clove, cigar box, light oak and light vanilla. It is a medium to full-bodied, extra-dry, fruity to integrated wine, with forward acidity, refined tannins (allow for decanting) and a long finish. Though this wine can complement terrestrial meat-based dishes, sip this one by itself; drink now or watch it evolve for the next 10+ years. My impression: BEAUTIFUL, 91-92 pts.
