These 2013's will be popular with the kids but they are too ripe for me. Luckily no R/S, but super big.

Still a baby. Complex and layered nose. Immediate dark berries (black currant and cassis) then red fruit of cherries and a hint of earth/dirt. Similar complexity on the palate with grippy tannins. Really good juice!! 🍷

We had the 2013 Vintage on 5/23/20. A terrific wine with depth and balance. A smooth mouth feel. Black fruit, cedar and graphite on the bouquet. Blackberry, cherry and vanilla on the palate. A great representative of a top notch Napa Cab.

Rutherford dust is a must! Did you know they were bio-dynamic? Me either. Who cares it's good! It's young so a little tight but good dark fruit not jammy at all good balance. Little wet stone. Get involved!
