Fait Main Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Las Piedras 2013
This rare Cabernet blend is intensely delicious with a cashmere-smooth texture and is the leading contender for Boutique wine of the vintage, particularly noteworthy given the universal acclaim for Napa’s 2013 harvest. From one of the legendary vineyards in Napa, this 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Las Piedras Vineyard waltzes across the palate with boldness, exuberance and focus. Black cherry, red berries, hints of cocoa and a galaxy of sumptuous spices all come together on the palate for an exceedingly satisfying experience tonight but guaranteed to impress for at least 7 – 10 years to come! Dense, ripe, and full-bodied, with velvety tannins, this monumental effort displays a core of cassis, blackberry, mocha and caramel complimented by hints of creamy toffee oak on the prodigious finish. This new release is reminiscent of past favorites from Ovid, Arietta, and Checkerboard.
