This cab has a nose of deep dark fruit and graphite. On the palate, pronounced rich dark berries and blueberries with a velvety texture and full body. The tannins have settled in nicely and this wine is begging to be drunk now. Enjoy!

Last tasting was 2017, Jamie left this bottle with us that evening, in my cellar since. Took this to a classic red sauce place in Somers Point. PnP
From prior notes: "Deep ruby red color. Nose of black fruits, graphite and minerals. Rich palate of currant, dark cherry, earth. Tannins still present, finishes long."
It's aged nicely, palate still showing black fruits. Adding blackberry, blue fruits, cassis and earth notes. Good persistence through the mid plate. Tannins have softened considerably - consistent with most of the '13 vintage in my cellar. Should drink at this level for a while...moving into prime drinking years

Drinking a little young right now but a very nice wine. Lots of robust dark fruit but not overwhelming. Some forest floor with ash on the nose. Velvety dark fruit on the palate. Medium finish. Very enjoyable with steak and salad (and a movie). Will wait until 2020 to enjoy my next one.

Very nice now, like most of the 2013 I have had they will be better as they shed more of their tannins and settle. This will be better with 2-3 years more bottle age

Alfresco dinner w old wines and young - Princeton Wine Crew and special guest Jamie Leahy of Marston Vineyards (Chez Walker - Princeton, NJ): Second of the reds, this one decanted for about 90 minutes prior to drinking.
