2013 Cabernet one of Wine & Spirits’ 100 Best Wines

Honored that the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon was chosen as one of Wine & Spirits Magazine’s 100 Best Wines in their Winter 2017 Buying Guide:

95 points: The Smith brothers hit a home run with their 2013, their mountaintop vines producing a cabernet that rises far above the grapey purple fruit and chocolate-oak richness of so many wines of the vintage. Instead, it tastes like freshly picked raspberries, their bright flavor structured by mountain-grown grape-skin tannins. There’s a pear-like shape to the wine, plump and delicious as it fills the mouth with flavor. Here’s a Napa Valley cabernet to make you smile, whether you open it now or any time over the next ten years. (1,388 cases).
