2013 Fuse Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley RP--90--92 AG--92

Robert Parker: 90--92 Points
"The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Fuse is a smaller cuvée of 2,000 cases of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest Cabernet Franc. It is to be positioned in the market between the inexpensive Edge and the more expensive Signorello estate wines. This wine was still in barrel, and shows loads of espresso roast, blackcurrants, and hints of white chocolate and spice box in an elegant, yet authoritative, medium to full-bodied style. It should be a satisfying and popular wine when released." (90–92 pts.)

Antonio Galloni: 92 Points
...presents lovely aromatic complexity and nuance. Sweet tobacco, licorice, mocha, herbs and red plum all flesh out in the glass. This is one of the more approachable 2013 Cabernets readers will come across. There is no shortage of depth or intensity to the plum, black cherry and rose petal notes. The style emphasizes ripeness and raciness.
