Just opened my last ‘13. Blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot and 3% Syrah, aged for 23 months in French oak (50% new), deep Ruby color with aromas of dark ripe fruit with hints of floral and sweet baking spices. On the palate flavors of ripe dark berry fruit with cinnamon, sweet oak, tobacco and cacao. Well integrated fine structured tight tannins, complex and enjoyable now and should benefit from additional bottle age. Long finish ending with fruit, spice and oak.

This is what I think of for Napa Cabernet - deep, dark fruit with a bit of cocoa, cedar and leather with well integrated tannins.
