Note di degustazione
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, which spends 20 months in about 80% new French oak, is a beauty. This wine has broad blackberry and black raspberry flavors, a judicious touch of toasty oak, soil notes and broad, savory, rich, full bodied flavors. This comes from northern Napa Valley from a south-facing hillside overlooked by the esteemed combo of winemaker Thomas Brown and vineyard managed by David Abreu. Drink this over the next 15 or so years.

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is darker, rich and more powerful than the Sisters Cabernet, but the wines aren’t really all that differentiated in this vintage. Savory herbs, smoke, licorice and spices are some of the signatures. This is another up-front, highly expressive Cabernet Sauvignon endowed with tons of personality. The 2013 will be even better in another year or two, once the tannins soften a bit further, but it is pretty delicious, even today.
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate brings together the inherent richness of this site, but with the freshness and vibrancy of the year. Plums, blueberry jam, exotic spices and menthol wrap around the voluptuous, textured finish. The flavors are rich, dense and wonderfully vibrant throughout. The 2013 Estate is shaping up beautifully.
