2013
From Grgich Hills Estate
Founded by a Croatian immigrant winemaker, known for elegant Cabernet Sauvignons with signature Rutherford Dust characteristics.
In the glass, the 2013 Grgich Hills Estate Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a deep, garnet hue. The nose is expressive, offering layers of ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry, interwoven with hints of cedar, graphite, and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and richly textured, with firm yet polished tannins providing structure. Flavors of cassis, plum, and black cherry are complemented by nuances of mocha, tobacco, and a touch of dried herbs. The finish is long and persistent, marked by vibrant acidity and a lingering note of dark chocolate, showcasing the wine’s impressive balance and complexity.
