2013 Red Wine from North Coast

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: This is an impressive wine from an estate that I haven't tasted in the past. The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Single Barrel Select emerges from the George III Vineyard in Rutherford and is aged in 100% new French oak. It...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: This is a solid cab with a backbone of ripe and chewy tannins and lots of wet earth, black currant and autumnal leaf character. Full and powerful. This needs a few years to soften. Better in 2019.

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Elegantly styled, rich and creamy, with a pure mix of dark berry, licorice, cedary oak, mocha and dried herb. A mix of grace, finesse and density, ending with a dash of espresso. Drink now through 2025. 1,500 cases made. –JL

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Intriguing aromas of walnut, shiitake mushroom and dark fruits follow through to a full body, round and velvety tannins and a bright finish. A vivid and silky mouthfeel. Long finish. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: A distinctive and singular style of wine, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Three D Dr. Crane is a relatively small cuvée of only 345 cases. Dense purple in color, with notes of charcoal, truffle, graphite, blackberry and...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: Little can be added to the greatness of the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin, a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine (600 cases) is truly stunning in its dense, crème de cassis and...

Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: From Tom and Martha May's famous, organically farmed site in the heart of the appellation, this is a blockbuster vintage of the 100% varietal wine, immaculately structured and full of fresh acidity. The menthol is there...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville, which spent more time in French oak, and is more expensive, has an inkier ruby/purple color, slightly more fruitcake, spice box, juicy blackcurrant fruit, a medium to full body...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: Remarkably elegant and refined for a wine of this size and depth, with tiers of plum, blackberry and currant, as well as subtle touches of black licorice that remain pure and graceful on the long, lingering aftertaste...

Wine Enthusiast, 93 points: A new offering from the Sonoma-based producer meant to recall the estate's original founding in the Napa Valley, this wine sources from across that appellation and impresses right away in its succulent and soft approach...

Vinous, 96 points: The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard The O.G. is the most exotic and intense of Carter's To Kalon Cabernets. Here the impression is of power and breath, as the wine possesses notable size and sheer...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: There are three vineyard sites, and the wine they cull out of those vineyards is the least expensive blend, Onda. The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Onda, which is 93% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot, sees less new oak...

Vinous, 95 points: The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is exquisitely layered and nuanced, yet also captures plenty of the vintage's intensity and pure power. Inky dark fruit, licorice, dark spices, menthol and new leather are all laced together in...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Intense aromas of blackberry, tar and wet earth follow through to a full body, chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Bark and cigar box undertones. A solid and powerful red yet balanced and poised. Give it two or...
