"The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Las Piedras shows why this well-draining site on the valley floor is so highly regarded. Benoit Touquette has crafted a dark, explosive wine loaded with pure depth and personality. Graphite, violets and menthol are some of the many notes that flesh out on the super-expressive finish. There is no shortage of intensity here. Insiders often describe Las Piedras as a mountain terroir on the valley floor because of the site's well-draining soils. Never was that more essential than in 2011."
