2013 Tudal Winery Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

100% Cabernet Sauvignon – St. Helena

Strong vintage being warm and dry.  Great structure and long finish.  Black cherry spice, and earthiness, with tobacco cedar and cocoa.

Practically a flawless growing season, with moderate temperatures throughout and no heat spikes or rain. Earliest harvest in 25 years started in August, but Indian summer conditions allowed growers to pick blocks as they wanted through late October. Wines brim with fruit and structure. A no-brainer benchmark
