"Entre Deux Mères" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2013 beast 🐻 is starting to emerge from hibernation, but hasn’t fully woken up yet. Tannins have softened but are still firm and cut through a steak with ease. Fruit still fresh and lifted, bright and preserved by present acidity. Very good, but will only get better.

Dec 25th, 2019Still highly tannic, could sit for a few more years, but once it starts to open, lots of plums and flint and black cherries. Lingers a lot at the end.

Dec 7th, 2019Fantastic showing tonight. Kept getting better and better -- typical 2013. Big dark fruit, tobacco, vibrant mouthfeel. Not the most depth / penetration on the back palette / finish. But really lovely.

Feb 18th, 2017Early Mother's Day wine. As always, good structure and balance with classic Napa cab fruit.

Apr 2nd, 2016First of all, too young. Explosive, spicy, chocolate, lilac, cassis and definitely on the Purp side of what I enjoy. Still a balancing acidity and formidable tannins that sneak up on you like a Barolo and end up hitting you square in the face and saying "don't you dare, you smug SOB". This is going to be my favorite wine in a decade or two and I'm going to wish I bought more.
