2013 Wine from USA

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: 97+ The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon 55% Slope comes from the Sonoma side of the Mayacamas Mountains. It is 100 % Cabernet Sauvignon from a vineyard planted at 1,700 feet. This is a remarkable wine and reminiscent of the great...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: This is slightly more opulent than other vintages of Mayacamas with tile, slate, dark fruits and flowers such as roses. Full body, firm and luscious tannins. Lots of sage and lavender undertones. Best ever from here?...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: Fabulous subtle aromas of black currants, violets and lilacs with a hot stone undertone. Full-bodied and dense, it shows such wonderful energy and synergy that delivers a firm yet gentle tannin backbone and complex...

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Pure, rich and firm, with an enticing core of blackberry, black olive, dill and herb flavors, ending with a cedary oak edge. Impressive for the mix of intensity and balance. Drink now through 2032. –JL

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: Woodbridge’s Midas touch with Cabernet Sauvignon also extends to his Pinot Noirs. He makes three of them – two from the Sonoma Coast and one from the Southern Napa Valley site called Stanley Ranch that was often used by...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is a total knock-out. Intense black fruit, graphite, violets and smoke blossom as this explosive, structured Cabernet Sauvignon shows off its compelling personality. Virile, dark and intense...

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...

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, 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...

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: The GSM blend from the estate is the 2013 Ingenuity Proprietary Red, which in 2013 is 54% Syrah, 21% Mourvedre, 16% Grenache and the balance Petite Sirah. It saw a touch of whole clusters in the fermentation and like the...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: The 2013 Pinot Noir Cargasacchi Vineyard is another delicious, vibrant Pinot Noir from Jeannie Bonnaccorsi. Sweet red plum, mint, lavender, game and sage open up nicely. Intense but also translucent in style, the 2013...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 91 points: Brilliant ruby-red. Spicy raspberry and cherry aromas are complicated by white pepper, lavender and pungent herbs. Pliant red fruit flavors are deepened by candied licorice and bitter chocolate nuances, with a spicy...
