The Cabernet Sauvignon-based 2013 Apex Gist Ranch Estate is the flagship of the Lexington range. Here the wild, mountain tannins are tamed by the sheer richness of the fruit and the presence of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, all of which seem to soften some of the contours. Black cherry jam, wild flowers, spices and mint are all fused into the super-expressive, sumptuous finish. This is yet another wine that has come together beautifully over the last year.
