“Then there's the Porter Family Cabernet, which is made by Ancien's Pinot Noir specialist, Ken Bernards, from the original Richard Perry vineyard in Napa's Coombsville area, east of the city and increasingly a source of excellent Cabernets.” – James Laube
PORTER FAMILY Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2005 Score: 91 | $95
Herbal, with touches of bell pepper, dried currant and wild berry. Trim, focused and balanced, this is intense without being heavy, coming into better balance on the finish, where the flavors are woven together. Best from 2010 through 2016. 270 cases made.
