Antica (Antinori) Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
94 Points San Francisco Chronicle Top 100 Wines of 2012! The new chapter from Tuscany's legendary Piero Antinori's Atlas Peak project has found its footing with a distinctive Antica Napa Cabernet. 94 Points Robert Parker: "A beautifully elegant, stylish Cabernet Sauvignon from the Antinori outpost in Napa Valley, their 2013 has a dense ruby/purple color, a beautiful, sweet kiss of pure blackcurrant fruit, licorice and forest floor. Full-bodied, but with creamy texture, sweet, beautifully integrated acidity, tannin and alcohol, this is an impressively well-crafted wine that’s drinkable now, but should evolve nicely for another 15-20 years.."

Very big wine, still could lay down for a while, but very enjoyable.

I liked this wine enough to text it the morning after. Would drink again. Rich, powerful, bold. This is how I felt after I drank it, not necessarily how I would describe the wine.

Dark earthy. Another best value old style cab. This 2013 will age.

I have decided to open the Antica Napa Valley by Antinori Family. I was going to wait but "oh well" ..sampling wine on "It's Journey" is all part of the learning and enjoyment of wine! On the nose I get vanilla..maybe a bit heavy..blackberry..cherry licorice..cocoa and baking spices. Nice medium body and tannins. Tastes of vanilla..dark fruit and earth. Decent Cabernet! I might update this post better aeration! Once again I love my Sunday night wine post weekend to work! Cheers everyone!@

This is fantastic! I taste a lot of stone fruit and black cherry, and fruit jam. It’s so smooth!
