"The Gundlach Bundschu Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 is opulently deep in color, the lush nose greeting with dark plums, blueberries, and black currants that are lifted by warm, oak-driven spices of cinnamon, vanilla, and milk chocolate. The seductively creamy chocolate aromas lead to semi-sweet chocolate morsels on the weighty palate, masterfully layered with almost juicy cassis, dark berries, and dark roast espresso. Framed by firm tannins, it’s perfectly balanced with lively acidity. A powerhouse Sonoma Valley Cab (and at affordable Sonoma prices), enjoy this now with at least an hour of decanting or age for the next 7-12 years."
