Much sweeter bigger berry and more full bodied. 2017 Rutherford is north so the clay soil helps with the Rutherford. Medium to full body. — 2 months ago

Beautiful cab. Aged gracefully but still has the structure and complexity representing a big Napa Cab. Smooth and a long finish. Delicious. — 5 years ago

Checking in on this. More tobacco, earth, and, espresso than I recall. I recall purity of red and black fruit. Rating a little lower, but nothing out of place. Evolution going well. Think in a transition period. Check back in a year. ttyt — 6 months ago

Forged Vines is a Cabernet created by Stambor, Hansen and Durling, winemakers at Napa Valleys most iconic and renowned vineyards: Beaulieu, Sterling and Hewitt. They created something new by blending wines from their luxury tiers of wine. The blend exceeded expectations. Dark cherry and blackberry fruit with some espresso, anise tones. Very full juicy feel.

The 2013 season was a warm, dry spring with early bud break and ideal flowering and fruit set. Consistent temperatures resulted in healthy vines and an early and condensed harvest. — 7 years ago
