Leto Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 | Highly Acclaimed Single Vineyard Napa Cab
Leto Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 displays an Inky purple color. Reserved nose, that opens with some air to reveal blackberry, black cherry, and blueberry fruits. In addition to mocha, pain grillé, vanilla, and pipe tobacco. Plus a muscular palate, loaded with blackberry and baking chocolate, firm, chewy tannins, and a dense, stoney texture. Finally, the finish is equal parts sweet fruit and savory spice. Drink now-2028.
Leto prefers to release their wines when they are ready to drink. Which is why their mere 200 cases of 2013 are just emerging from the cellar. Even after a streak of stellar vintages, 2013 is still known as one of the best ever in Napa Valley. And this hand-picked, dry-farmed Cabernet is ready to rock right now. So here’s a beauty at a fantastic price. Don’t miss Leto Cabernet Sauvignon 2013. Released at $85, just $39.99 on 5 or more bottles
St. Helena Varozza Vineyard | “The Hidden One”
“The Hidden One” is sourced entirely from St. Helena’s Varozza Vineyard, which has been owned by the Varozza family for over a century. Dry-farmed, hand-picked Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for 22 months in French oak, and then rested more than two years in bottle. Many wineries’ Cabernets from Robert Parker’s 98-point “extraordinary” 2013 vintage are a mere memory, but Leto releases theirs when they feel they are ready to drink. If you thought you had missed out on the vintage of the century, this is your reprieve. They made just 200 cases and our allocation is a lot smaller than that.
