2013 Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L

Napa Valley

Set aside and now released from the library, this 2013 Cabernet reflects the character that comes with time. In large format, it’s a rarer bottling—meant to be opened and shared when the occasion feels truly meaningful.

Luxurious dark cherry, boysenberry, blackcurrant and black fig aromas, with scents of oak toast and dark chocolate, introduce layers of rich, deeply concentrated, yet elegant flavors of blackberry, boysenberry, fig, currant and fresh cherry. The wine’s vibrant acidity, supple, seamlessly integrated tannins and impeccable balance contribute to a round, plush mouthfeel, leading to a long, savory finish marrying rich boysenberry fruit, French oak spice and a hint of dark chocolate. Remarkably delicious young, this classic Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon will develop even greater allure with another 7‐10 years’ bottle age.

Milestone celebrations, meaningful occasions, and moments that deserve to be marked. It’s something to open with purpose—best shared when the time feels truly right.

The grapes for our 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, a Bordeaux‐style blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, came from top vineyards throughout the valley’s finest Cabernet Sauvignon appellations, including 56% from our own estate vines. Securing fruit from multiple, diverse sites enables us to craft a rich, yet elegant Cabernet marrying the lush black fruit and sturdy tannins typical of the valley’s warmer northern districts with the bright fruit and acidity characteristic of its cooler southern climes.
In 2013, a warm, dry spring initiated early budbreak, ensured trouble‐free vine flowering and grape set, and led to a consistently mild summer fostering steady, even ripening and grapes with wonderful flavor concentration. Our hand‐harvested red Bordeaux varieties were picked between September 23rd and October 15th with an optimum balance of sugar and acidity.
