2013 Rutherford Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

93 Points, James Suckling

“This is a ripe and savory red with plum, currants and cedar aromas that follow through to a full body, silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Dense and fresh. Drink or hold”

92 Points, Wine Spectator

“A delightfully rich and creamy expression of Cabernet that is intense and subtle, refined and graceful, with creamy oak framing the core of currant, blackberry, cedar and mocha. Ends with a dash of anise. Drink now through 2029”

“The 2013 St. Supéry Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon displays a dark, inky color and opens with aromas of black cherries, blueberries and cassis followed by fresh violets and sweet spices. On the palate this full-bodied and layered with a lovely velvety, round texture. The finish shows nice length, leaving behind dark fruits and hints of sweet spices lingering. Accessible now, but will also drink well over the next decade”

91 Points, Wine Advocate

“The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Vineyard is outstanding. A classic Cabernet aromatic profile of damp earth, cedar wood, crème de cassis and licorice is followed by a full-bodied, powerful, rich wine with ripe tannin, impressive concentration and overall equilibrium. This wine should evolve gracefully for 15-20 years”

90 Points, Wine Enthusiast

“Robust black fruit forms around a dense, leathery core of concentration and richness before allowing room for softer, intertwined tannins to add structure and more depth. Chocolate marks the finish of this big, bold wine”
