This full-throttle, blockbuster wine is mouth filling, bursting with blackberries, ferrous notes, vanilla, smoky tobacco and very dark chocolate. During Harvest 2013, Winemaker Jim Duane reported that the tannins in this Olympian vintage are the most massive ever to be produced by our steep hillside blocks. Monumental and opulent, this wine is overflowing with raw power. Time will be its friend. Preview it now but provide it with patient cellaring so that its full majesty can be revealed.

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is 97.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2.5% Petit Verdot aged 20 months in new French oak and is typically young, backward and for serious connoisseurs to stow away for at least 5-8 years prior to consumption. The 2013 is typically coiled, deep purple in color, with notes of burning embers, créme de cassis, a touch of earth, spice and tobacco leaf. It is full-bodied, moderately tannic and needs to be respected in terms of it not providing a whole lot of pleasure for another 5-8 years.
