2013 Wine from USA

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: (WA 95-98 points) A barrel sample of the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon 55 Degrees Slope looks awesome. It exhibits an opaque purple color as well as beautiful notes of chocolate, blackberries and cassis. Possibly even more...

Decanter, 94 points: Savoury notions of pine and undergrowth join lovely dark fruit on the nose, and American oak adds even more aroma by way of vanilla and coconut. The palate is juicy, full, aromatic and ripe, but there's structure to hold...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: This is so complex and fantastic showing the complexity and drinkability. Full body, layered and gorgeous. Dried berry, dried meat and date. So subtle. This is mostly syrah but hints of nine grape types from sauvignon...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: Up there with the incredible 2012, yet in a more focused, tight, backwards style, the inky colored 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Four Flags comes from four separate vineyards (Klipsun, Grand Ciel, Ciel du Cheval and Upchurch)...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate opens with profound black and red currant cordial notes over an undercurrent of Indian spices, chargrill, scorched earth and bay leaves. Medium-bodied with...

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, 94 points: The flagship is the 2013 Estate Red Wine, which is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot that spent 20 months in 62% new French oak, with the balance in second fill barrels. Coming from a cooler, higher...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: The 2013 Red Blend Mernet Reserve, Keenan's Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon blend is striking. Like so many wines in this vintage, however, it probably won't be ready to drink for a number of years. Still, there is an...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: A classic Washington State Cabernet, the 2013 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a medium to full-bodied, elegant and vibrant effort that offers lots of violets, cassis, and spring flower-like aromas and flavors. It shows more...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Lightening acidity here with vibrant and ripe fruit that gives depth and beauty. Wonderful verve to this well-crafted pinot. Such energy. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Louer Family is a blockbuster of power and elegance. Young, exuberant and youthful, with a dense purple color, notes of charcoal and smoke from the barrels interwoven with copious quantities of...

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.

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 97 points: The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon has really closed down since I last tasted it. Beams of tannin give the 2013 its shape and overall energy. Precise and yet also quite explosive, the 2013 will be a magnificent wine once it...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 91 points: The 2013 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) is a wonderful introduction to the vintage. Plump, juicy and forward, but with good underlying energy, the 2013 is impeccably balanced from start to finish. Dark red cherry...

jamessuckling.com, 90 points: Soft and easy merlot with green olive, plum and cherry aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Drink now.
