Tasting notes
Primary aromatics of black cherry and mocha. The nose also exhibits wide-ranging yet subtle layers of complexity, from violets to blueberries to red currants. Background notes of flint and graphite show in this vintage. The palate is intense and generous with plenty of fresh fruit. Black currants, blueberries and chocolate flavors are accompanied by long and supple toasty oak finish.

Vintage notes
One of the best vintages in 30 years from the Alexander Valley. Great season, warmer than 2012, but a moderate one with no heat spikes and grape dehydration. Bud break was early for this vintage. We experienced a warm June but a cool July that perfectly balanced the vines. August was perfect. Picked the week of Sep 10th. Cabernet came in a little early and light. The clusters were there but the cluster density was a little low. The flavors were mature and complex. The tannins fully ripened. Overall, the quality of 2013 was outstanding.
