Flavors of currant, blackberry and dark chocolate jump out of the glass of the 2013 Rockpile Cabernet Sauvignon. Focused on the entry, the wine has great weight without being clumsy. Flavors of currant and plum give way to the subtler nuances of sweet oak and earthen spice. The tannins are fine grained, giving the wine a beautiful linear characteristic. Though it is enjoyable in its youth, the 2013 Rockpile Cabernet will be at its best from 2017-2030.

FOR THE 2013 VINTAGE
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Rockpile Ridge Vineyard shows plenty of crushed rock, blueberry and blackberry, a full-bodied, beautiful sweetness on the mid-palate, and a dry, structured, ripe tannic finish. This is a strong Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon that should evolve nicely for at least two decades.
