Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr.
A beautiful ripe, plump, fat and opulent style of Cabernet Sauvignon that Caymus has pioneered, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon has a dense purple color, loads of juicy blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, low acidity and no real evidence of oak, but a nice, plush, full-bodied opulence. This is irresistible, especially for a Cabernet Sauvignon coming in at 14.9% natural alcohol. Drink it over the next decade or more.

Vintage: 2013
Drinking Window: 2016-2030
Country: United States
Region: California
Appellation: Napa Valley
This impressive follow up to the exquisite 2012 rendition comes from another great vintage. The 2013 is sourced from eight of the sixteen sub-appellations in Napa Valley. As the wine itself opens, it delivers aromas of blackberry, cassis, milk chocolate and anise. On the palate this continues to deliver delicious flavors of black cherry, milk chocolate, anise, graphite and smoke through a rich and voluptuous body. The mouth coating finish is long and persistent leaving behind layers of dark fruits. This will only get better with time, but it will certianly be hard to resist.

Tasting Notes
The 2013 growing season was another great one in Napa Valley. Our Cabernets are a blend of wines from eight of the sixteen sub-appellations - a bottling that represents complexity through judicious blending. Deep red and opulent in color with the vibrant scent of dark cherry and blackberry, subtly layered with warm notes of vanilla. The palate is explosive, bright and balanced with cassis at the center, with flourishes of cocoa and sweet tobacco.

Grape/Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark and unctuous, with notable inner sweetness and texture that coats the palate. Blueberry syrup, brandy, prunes, cloves, mint and cola are some of the signatures. This is one of the more opulent, ripe 2013 Cabernets readers will come across. This thick, unnaturally unctuous Cabernet tastes heavily processed. Antonio Galloni. Tasting date: October 2015
