Through the lens of a @riedelusa glass 🍷 Gotta be honest, I'm not even a CA Cab fan and this @oshaughnessywinery 2013 Napa Cab showed like a complete rock star in the XL Cab series gls tonite. Choc covered cherries, seductive rasp & candied blk licorice-yummy! #certifiablydelish #amuseeevents

One bad ass Merlot. Intense, edgy, black fruited awesomeness. Done in a Cab style.

Not quite up to the fantastic 2012, but still terrific. Very much in the same style as their Howell Mountain Cabernet - plush fruit up front, mineral notes in the background, and ample tannins providing structure.

Love this wine. Deep purple hues. Rich, but still has some strong tannins.
