Tasting Notes

V95
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Social Currency is the biggest and richest of these three Cabernets. Raspberry jam, cherry confit, spice and new leather meld together in a pliant, sweet Cabernet Sauvignon. Floral, savory and mineral-drenched notes appear over time, adding complexity and nuance, but this is a big boy Cabernet that will appeal most to readers who like intense, extroverted Napa Valley wines. Layers of spice and torrefaction round out the sumptuous finish. The Social Currency is a blend of Mt. Veeder and Saint Helena fruit. Bottled only in magnum.
WA90
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa, which has 7% Petit Verdot blended, displays good ripe blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, some licorice and background spice. It is pure, ripe, medium to full-bodied and well-made, as are most 2013 wines from Bordeaux varietals. Drink it over the next 15 years.
