Winemaker Notes: Our ninth vintage of this appellation Cabernet is blended from a combination of hillside and valley floor vineyards. Our style combines the harmony produced by traditional Bordelaise winemaking techniques with the voluptuousness gained from Californias weather, especially in this perfect vintage.Deep garnet-purple, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is scented of crme de cassis, ripe plums and pencil shavings with hints of sauted herbs and beef drippings. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the palate with concentrated black fruit and earth flavors, framed by grainy tannins and finishing with an herbal lift.92 points from Robert Parker, The Wine AdvocateAnother delicious wine, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is a terrific example of the year. Creamy and beautifully layered on the palate, the 2013 captures all of the pedigree of this great vintage in a style that offers a bit more immediacy than many other wines. Best of all, the Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable value. Bright red stone fruit, mint, white flowers and tobacco add nuance on the silky yet powerful finish92 points from Antonio Galloni, vinousVery ripe and plummy, verging on jammy. Full body, fruit-forward and spicy. Flavorful finish. Drink on release.90 points from James Suckling
