The wine bursts from the glass with aromas of blackberry, slate, tar, and violets. Dark fruit flavors, espresso, slate and bitter orange notes build on the palate. These flavors meld with the full mountain tannin so characteristic of this site. The energy and intensity is apparent on the long and layered finish which evolves for over a minute. Enjoy 2018 through 2034 and beyond.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 25 months in 92% New French Oak.
Wine Advocate Review:
From the valley floor, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Lotus Vineyard is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon in this vintage and shows its multidimensional aromatics of violets, forest floor, blueberry and blackberry liqueur. It is backward, vibrant and young – very much in the 2013 classic style of enormous richness, length and overall weight. However, it cuts a suave and discreet feel across the palate. This is a stunner that won’t be ready for a good 4-5 years and could last as long as 40 or more. Anticipated Maturity: 2020-2061
