Sloan Estate Winery was founded in 1997 when Stuart Sloan purchased 40 acres of land in the eastern portion of the Rutherford district in the Napa Valley. The vineyards have been managed by superstar viticulturalist, David Abreu, since inception and winemaking has been the responsibility of Martha McClellan since 2003.
The flagship blend is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with lesser parts Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. From the slightly cooler 2011 vintage, this is a beautifully fragrant and elegant release. Drink now and over the next 20 years.

The 2011 Sloan is a powerful, deep wine that marries the textural richness that is such a signature here with the more savory profile typical of the year. Sloan is without question one of the more potent wines of this challenging harvest. Black cherry, chocolate, spice, new leather and licorice all power through. To be sure, the 2011 is an unusually savory Sloan, with less density than the estate fans have come to expect over the years, and yet its balance is impeccable. The 2011 should drink well for another decade. Antonio Galloni31st May 2022
