Score 96/100 · Drink 2016-2024, Robert Parker, Jan 2016

The 2013 Proprietary Red Blend the David Howell Mountain is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon with equal parts Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Darker, bluer more primordial fruits are present in this wine that has a dense ruby/purple color, a sweet kiss of oak, licorice and incense. It’s medium to full-bodied, ripe and attractive. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

The 2013 Proprietary Red Blend The David Rutherford Estate is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. This is juicy, sexy and lush with spicy oak in the background, a medium to full body, beautiful purity, density and richness. This is a lovely, seductive wine best drunk over the next decade.
