2013 Perfect Season Cabernet Sauvignon Bidwell Creek Vineyard

I was impressed with these wines the first time I tasted them. The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bidwell Creek Vineyard is 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot aged 18 months in 75% new French oak. It’s a beauty, with lots of blackberry and cassis fruit, licorice, incense and camphor. It is ripe, full-bodied, opulent and already showing exceptionally well. It should continue to drink well for at least another 15 or more years.
