Description
The 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon enters the glass with a ruby red to brick red color. On the nose it opens with warm notes of strawberry and cranberry and a hint of persimmon and tamarind. Aromas of plum and dried stone fruit emerge after that, with undertones of petrichor and sandalwood. On the palate, this wine is extraordinarily balanced with a soft and sapid tannin structure and a subtle fresh acidity. Nimble and precise red berry fruit aromas dominate the front palate while the mid palate demonstrates considerable aromatic complexity of red stone fruit and orange rind with earthy and savory undertones. This wine is developing gracefully in the bottle, showing a still vivacious freshness on the front palate yet developing the complex aromatics of a mature Cabernet Sauvignon on the mid palate.
