Score 91/100 · Drink 2016-2031, Robert Parker, Dec 2015
D. R Stephens has produced a sexy 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (alcohol is only 14.3%, which is low in 2013) with supple tannins, juicy, big blackcurrant fruit flavors, with licorice, background spice and wood. It’s medium to full-bodied, lush, and ideal for drinking now and over the next 12-15 years.

Score 88/100 · Drink 2017-2025, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2015
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Moose Valley Vineyard is deep, plush and explosive, with tons of ripe fruit and a racy, bold personality. Sweet black cherry, spices, new French oak and flowers add nuance, but the ripeness is elevated to the point that the alcohol peeks through, while the finish is abrupt.
