Score 89/100 · Drink 2017-2024, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Oct 2016

Dark ruby-red. Scented aromas of blackberry, peat, mocha and smoky minerality. Pliant, fine-grained and nicely filled in, offering a subtle sweetness to its flavors of dark fruits, musky underbrush and sexy restrained oak. Nicely integrated acidity extends the juicy finish. Very well balanced Cabernet.

A ripe, black fruit, asphalt and licorice scented release, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Rainmaker is medium to full-bodied, has plenty of oak, and a firm edge to its tannin. Nevertheless, it’s certainly a solid Cabernet that will be even better with another year in bottle.
