Mt Brave Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 3L Magnum

Mt. Brave Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 3L Magnum is a monumental collector-worthy Napa Valley mountain Cabernet sourced from the rugged volcanic slopes of Mount Veeder, one of Napa’s most prestigious high-elevation AVAs. Crafted in extremely limited quantities, this luxury large-format release showcases extraordinary depth, structure, and age-worthiness. The 2013 vintage reveals profound layers of blackcurrant, cassis, blackberry, graphite, crushed rock minerality, cedar, tobacco leaf, espresso, dark chocolate, and wild mountain herbs. Full-bodied with powerful mountain tannins, vibrant acidity, and remarkable concentration, this impeccably balanced Cabernet is built for decades of cellaring and exceptional special-occasion service in rare 3L format.

Food Pairing: Dry-aged ribeye, herb-crusted lamb chops, braised beef short ribs, venison, aged gouda, truffle mushroom dishes, duck breast, and refined steakhouse cuisine.

95Wine Enthusiast Pts: The mountain appellation speaks loudly in this wine, contributing juicy blackberry, tar and leather, all within a forested context of wild truffle and crunchy leaves. Concentrated and robust in body and ripeness, it unwinds slowly in the glass, imparting jolts of black pepper as it goes.

93Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Pts: The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and the rest Malbec and Cabernet Franc, aged in 80% new French oak. Floral notes intermixed with blueberry and black raspberry fruit as well as blackcurrants jump from the glass of this wine, which has full body and terrific texture, purity and length. Drink it over the next 15-20 years.
