Interesting nose and initial taste. Overbearing for black cherry and spice flavors. Lighter side for a cab. Treasury wine program. Will keep stock and come back next year (2013 vintage). Opens up well...

A good Cabernet. It gets better the longer it breathes.

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.

Good blend, definitely a drink sooner. Pairs with heavier foods.

A blend of Sterling, Beaulieu and Hewitt that melds dark fruit, hazelnut and espresso. Black cherry and oak spice with a fruity finish!
