Hundred Acre, Kayli Morgan other_regionsMedium garnet colored, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Kayli Morgan Vineyard gives up notes of warm blackcurrants, black cherries, sassafras, earth, smoked meats and tilled soil with wafts of garrigue. Full bodied, super concentrated and wonderfully powerful, it has a rock solid frame and grainy texture, finishing very long and boldly spiced.

Remarkably for a wine that is gorgeously refined

Fresh and pliant

the typical profile is still there and the structure is still very good

lemon rind and copious Chablis elements

I once again left the bottle exposed to air for 24 hours and unlike the Romanée Saint-Vivant

it has some grainy tannins

a touch of asparagus gives the wine a greenness in the middle palate but there's also plenty of supporting dark fruit and graphite minerality

note however that in 2006

great Bric del Fiasc

The palate is very well balanced with supple but firm tannins framing the pure blackberry and bilberry fruit

tobacco and licorice

the wine will require a bit of patience
