Herb Lamb HL Cabernet Sauvignon 2013Napa Valley

This 2013 from Herb Lamb is outstanding. Even better than their 2012, we recently tasted this twice in the last few weeks and think this is one of the best Herb Lamb Cabernets we’ve tasted from their own winery. Impressive immediately upon opening, all flavors are expressive and focused. “The typical Herb Lamb Vineyard characteristics of tobacco, dusty chocolate, menthol, cedar and red and blue fruits is predominant. On the nose, there is a woody note of chestnut combined with sweet red fruits. In the mouth, you find cranberry, cherry, dried blueberry and spices of Mexican chocolate. More black cherry pie and dusty cocoa flavors are highlighted by a wealth of caramel, cinnamon and spice flavors, making it very rich in the mouth with an added depth and extraction. The 2013 HL Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon shows good balance with fine grain tannins and great length on the finish, and it seems better structured, bigger, more densely packed and worthy of age than the previous vintages.” 380 cases were produced. we highly recommend.
