Napa Valley, California, USA
First Bure Family wine for us. Deep ruby red. Layered nose with notes of black cherries, gravel, cigar box and cassis. Excellent acidity with medium tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Layered palate showing its maturity and finesse. Lush and dark with layers of cigar box, dark powdered cocoa, blackberries, black plums, Christmas spices, aniseed and fruit cake. Long finish with a bit of harshness on the backend. Definitely need to use wake up wine next time. Drink till 2024.

Pop & Pour. Getting better as it matures in the bottle. Simply that much more accessible. Delicious!

Primarily all black fruits with a hint of blue fruits. RIPE- plum, chocolate, & tannins /acidity that are bold in this 100% Cab. 10'+ years in this bottle. Luc Morlet winemaker . I'm gonna wait another 18 months before we open another.

Big, but only 6 years old so I'd say that's expected. Some years are definitely left on this #cabernet. #napa #wine

Definitely need to decant for a few hours to bring out the true taste in this wine. Typical bold Napa cab 😋

2013 Thirteen Bure
Used aerator... didnt have time to decant and still had huge potential straight out of bottle. Looking forward to decanting and drinking or cellar for some years.
