Cimarossa Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Somm David T
9.5

If you like dark, sweet tarriness, dry herb buffet, round meaty, not overdone tannins, you will love this 2013 Tor Howell Mountain.

This 2013 Tor has just started its drinking window. It is really good but better things lie ahead in 5-8 years.

Dark, meaty, heavy, round tannins. Black currants, blackberries, black raspberries, black plum skin, plum, raspberries, sweet dark chocolate baking bar, mocha, caramel, black tea, dry herbs for days, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, vanillin, dry top soil, limestone, volcanic minerals, dry river stone, dry clay, twig with raindrops, iron pan, touch of iodine, dark, withering flowers, lavender & violets, very nice round acidity and a well textured, tensioned, structured, balanced but still shows braun, elegant, polished finish that lasts for days and falls on clays, earth & spice.

Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Excellent wine.

Some explosive fruit but also a lot of structure and depth.

Seems like it has more to develop even further.

Drank like a Zinfandel with high alcohol, candied, fruit, and medium plus tannins. Hard to identify thIs as Cabernet despite the phenomenal pedigree — 2 years ago
