Yao Ming 2011 Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Family Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Yao Ming / Napa Valley

As imposing as the athlete himself, this is an impressive wine from the get-go, high in acidity and the resulting bright cassis and red berry fruit. It’s nuanced in pretty ways, with peppercorn, herb and chalky tannins. Lingering on the palate, the structure suggests significant aging potential; enjoy from 2021–2024.
