2013 Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Anthology enhances the richness of their basic Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a denser, darker ruby/purple color. Loads of crème de cassis, licorice and floral notes. The wine is medium to...

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...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Beautiful aromas of black cherry and apricot. Full body, exotic and intense. A wealth of fruit yet remains vibrant and firm. Extremely focused. Long finish. Great follow up to the 2012. Drink in 2021.

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...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: Tar, orange peel and strawberry aromas follow through to a full body with chewy and powerful tannins and a long and flavorful finish. A structured and intense wine. Don't miss this. Crazy quality for a straight up Barolo...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: The beauty and polish to this is very impressive on the nose and the palate. Blackberry, blueberry, and sandalwood character. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and an elegant finish. So crafted and fine. Drink in 2020.

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: Dark cherry, plum, lavender, mint, wild herbs and smoke infuse the 2013 Barolo Bricat. Dark, powerful and brooding, but also very much medium-bodied in structure, the 2013 is wonderfully complete and full of allure. There...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 97 points: Bottled in June 2016, this texturally silken, supremely elegant effort transparently and kaleidoscopically combines moss, wet stone, gentian, buddleia, coriander, pepper, piquant yet rich nut oils and a saline clam broth...

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 90 points: Just mid ruby with a broad orange rim. Brooding, serious and subdued on the nose. Plenty of ripe cherry and wonderful tangy fruit and proper coating tannins on the palate. Firm and ripe. -WS (17/20)

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...

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, 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...

Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: Inviting aromas of wild red berry, new leather, rose petal, crushed herb and cake spice abound on this fragrant red. The radiant, elegant palate doles out succulent Marasca cherry, raspberry compote, cinnamon and licorice...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: The 2013 Barolo Castelletto is another superb wine from Manzone. Beams of Castelletto tannin and bright acidity give the wine its super-distinctive feel. A wine of focus and drive, the Castelletto will appeal most to...
