Tasting notes
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Julie’s Creekside Vineyard is an impressive, opaque purple-colored wine that is super-concentrated and extracted with relatively sweet tannins, a touch of chocolate and espresso, a full-bodied mouthfeel and pure, dark, primordial fruits. This is a big, masculine, concentrated wine set for long-term aging. Saying that, it has a certain accessibility, but won’t hit its prime for at least another 8-10 years and keep 25-30.

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Julie's Creekside Vineyard is plump, juicy and expressive. Sweet red stone fruits, pomegranate, flowers and mint flesh out in an effortless, sensual wine endowed with power, silkiness and radiance. This is the most feminine and voluptuous of the wines in the range.
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Jake's Creek Vineyard is a wine of texture and volume. Dark and voluptuous to the core, the 2013 blossoms in the glass with copious dark blue and black fruit. This is an especially radiant 2013 that should drink well relatively early. Today the new oak is a bit pronounced, but there appears to be more than enough depth to soak up the cooperage. A huge, intense finish rounds things out in style. The Jake's Creek should be the most approachable of Harris's 2013 Cabernets.
