Uncorked the first of the 2013 vintage. This one was very expressive right out of the bottle, but was really kicking some ass at two hours. Classic cab for Sonoma. Blackberry, leather, sandalwood, herbs. Lots of pepper spice on the finish. Great acidity on the front with a fine gritty tannin on the finish. Acidity took a dip to allow a complex front to come through. Man this wine is a baby. The problem is that these bottles usually don't stand a chance. Incredibly age worthy wines, which SHOULD be what off site storage is for........I guess....... Cheers!
