The 2013 Purlieu Teucer Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a wine of extraordinary maturity, historic depth, and the kind of fully evolved, magnificently complex single-vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that offers one of the rarest and most profoundly rewarding wine experiences available anywhere: a great California single-vineyard Cabernet approaching or at the very peak of its long arc of development, with over a decade of graceful bottle evolution behind it and all the secondary and tertiary complexity — earthy, leathery, cedary, savory, and spicy — that the finest aged Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon develops in its most magnificent drinking window. The Teucer Vineyard, one of Purlieu's most carefully farmed and historically significant sites, produces a Cabernet of a distinctive mineral character, structural elegance, and aromatic precision that the 2013 California vintage — one of the most consistently celebrated and long-lived of the modern era — expressed with remarkable completeness and grace. In the glass today: aromas of dried black cherry, cassis, cigar box, cedar, dark tobacco, iron mineral, coffee, dried flowers, and a profound, evolving earthy complexity of magnificent richness and depth lead to a silky, completely integrated palate of extraordinary length and satisfaction.
