2013 Lewelling "Wight Vineyard" St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon

Very Pauillac-like (as usual), the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Wight has a similar character, with loads of creme de cassis, smoke, licorice and graphite as well as a full-bodied texture, dense, rich fruit, impressive purity and ripe tannin. This is a beauty, but interestingly, it doesn‰۪t show the dramatic difference in quality that it often does at such a young age, although that may well evolve. Give it several more years of bottle age and drink it over the following two decades. I didn‰۪t see the usual dramatic difference between the single-vineyard Cabernet and the regular Cabernet in 2013, but both are exceptional wines and realistically priced for high-end, world-class Napa wines. 93+ Points (RP)
