2013
From Grgich Hills Estate
Founded by a Croatian immigrant winemaker, known for elegant Cabernet Sauvignons with signature Rutherford Dust characteristics.
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a deep, garnet hue and an expressive bouquet of ripe blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, interwoven with hints of cedar, tobacco, and subtle earthiness. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied yet refined, showcasing layers of black fruit, plum, and baking spice, supported by firm tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long and persistent, marked by notes of dark chocolate and graphite, reflecting both the old-vine heritage and the careful aging regimen. This wine’s complexity and balance make it a standout example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
