2013 Kelham Vineyards Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville, Napa Valley
Tasting Notes:
The 2013 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful and beautifully structured wine, reflecting the intensity and precision of one of Napa Valley’s most acclaimed vintages. In the glass, it presents a deep, opaque garnet hue, signaling both concentration and longevity.
The nose is layered and expressive, with aromas of cassis, blackberry, and ripe plum, accented by cedar, graphite, and a hint of violet. Secondary notes of mocha, espresso, and warm baking spice reveal its extended aging in French oak.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and opulent, with firm, age-worthy tannins and a rich core of dark fruit. Flavors of blackcurrant, black cherry, dark chocolate, and subtle tobacco leaf unfold in waves of complexity, leading to a long, resonant finish with hints of spice and earthy minerality.
Mouthfeel:
Concentrated and powerful, yet polished, with a velvety texture that promises years of graceful aging.
Pairing Suggestions:
Ideal with dry-aged ribeye, braised short ribs, or rosemary lamb chops, and stunning with aged cheeses for a contemplative tasting.
Cellaring:
Decant if enjoying now, or cellar confidently through 2045+ for peak elegance.
