2013 Muscardini Cabernet Sauvignon Madrone Ridge Vineyard

A bit snug at the moment, the wine shows the structural focus of the vintage with currently tucked-in black and red fruits and a mix of tobacco and forest notes. Chocolate appears through the finish and with additional air, as does a snap of cracked black pepper. A bit hot through the close. Will likely reveal a bit more with another year or two in bottle.
