2013 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon

The other bottled 2013 is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville. This blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc was aged 18 months in 60% new French oak. It shows more fruitcake, cassis, blackberry and new saddle. The wine is spicy, earthy, ripe, rich and overall impressive. It seems to me the best of the three bottled 2013s. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and drink over the following two decades.
