Mission Codename Like Silk

Today’s Hook & Ladder Vineyards and Winery 2011 Russian River Valley Cabernet Franc had everyone on our tasting panel raving. We have had the great fortune of featuring the two previous vintages of this wine, and we all agreed that this 2011 vintage is the best yet!

Today’s stunning wine is lively, juicy, and delicious, with not a flaw in sight. The finish is the absolute highlight: silky and almost impossibly soft.

Cabernet Franc is one of our favorite varietals here at The Wine Spies, and today’s offering from Hook & Ladder is a wonderful example of the best aspects of the varietal. If you haven’t tried one lately, or aren’t familiar with Cab Franc, today’s elegant, well-balanced, and very approachable wine is the perfect way to get started!

Here’s how WIA Works:

Over the next two weeks, we’ll revisit the TOP hits of 2024. Our favorite winemaker. The top Italian. A treasured cult selection, and the ever-popular most wanted Napa Cab.

Plus many more.

  • If you're in the Facebook group, check out the pinned post and please drop your favorites. If we can, we'll work in a special Operative requests day.
  • And yes, I know some of you are trying to exercise restraint, and we apologize. But it is the season of giving, and a case of wine for yourself is self care, right?
  • The discounts, as usual, will be steep and deep. Hopefully you'll find more than a few of your favorites from the past year. Every one of these wines has proven extremely popular so we encourage you to act fast and early as quantities are often even more limited the second time around.
  • As we near the Holidays and wrap up another great year we are as ALWAYS, ever grateful for your ongoing support. It's been an amazing year and we cannot wait to do it again in 2025.
