Meteor Vineyard Perseid Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

The Meteor Vineyard, a remarkable site in beautiful Coombsville is the source of an under the radar winery of amazing quality. 97 Points Robert Parker:  "The opaque blue/purple 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Perseid, from vineyard in the southeast sector of Napa Valley, really is strutting its stuff. It's backward, shows loads of minerality and earth, but the tannic structure is strong, the wine inky purple with plenty of blackberry and cassis. The mouth layers are incredible and the finish just goes on and on. This is a remarkable effort that should age effortlessly for 25-30 years. In fact it probably won't be even hitting its plateau for another 5-6 years." 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Coombsville’s volcanic soils, this wine reflects the impressive 2013 growing season. I loved the wine’s dark hue, the warm, brambly fruit and the deft, dancing acidity underneath. The power and the richness in the glass is tempered by that freshness and the bright focus of the acidity. A fantastic cabernet discovery and perfect for the wine lover that thinks they already have everything.
