Reviewed January 2016The complex aromas are amazing with hot stones, black currants, meat and iron. Turns to porcini and wet earth. Cassis leaf too. Full-bodied, velvety and savory with blueberry, iron, iodine and oyster shell. Classic texture.
Take it home. Or give it a cellar.
Take possession as soon as your order is ready, or choose managed storage with RareStorage.

Wine Advocate
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Au Paradis comes from one of their newer acquisitions, formerly known as the Showket Vineyard in the red soil hillsides overlooking the Oakville crossroads. This is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Cabernet Franc. Production is less than 1,530 cases. The 2013 displays loads of roasted meats, licorice, graphite, dusty, loamy soil notes, creamy blackcurrants and blackberries, stunning richness, and a Pauilllac-like first-growth cedarwood and crème de cassis notes. The Cabernet Franc from this area grows right next to the famous Maya wine of Dalle Valle. This wine spent all of its time in 100% new Daranjou cooperage, which is not even noticeable in the aromatics or flavors. (RP)

The 2013 vintage was marked by a dry spring and mild temperatures, but an Indian summer provided ideal warmth. Aromas of dried hibiscus and crushed violets introduce this unapologetic wine. It has a big tannic structure with bold yet finessed blackberry notes. Great with grilled lamb chops with fresh mint. (ED)
