2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate offers up a creme de cassis, violets, dark chocolate and licorice core with nuances of lavender, unsmoked cigars, beef drippings and iron pan plus a touch of baking spices. Medium to full-bodied with a solid frame of plush tannins and great freshness, it has a wonderful core of muscular fruit and plenty of power juxtaposed by bags of finesse in the multilayered finish.
