Gundlach Bundschu Block 13 Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 United States California Sonoma County Calif Cab Sauv 750ml
Call it superstition. For six generations, the blocks on the Gundlach Bundschu family vineyard have conspicuously skipped from #12 to #14. When they set out to create wines sourced from fine vineyards along the North Coast, they insisted they reflect their commitment to quality at home, and therefore give them the honorary designation of their missing block. Block 13 Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced primarily from Alexander Valley to create a lush, approachable wine.. Opulent, juicy blackberry, cassis and fig flavors, laced with hickory smoke and vanilla. The broad, mouth filling fruit is framed by silky tannins that lead to a long, plush finish. This approachable Cabernet has the balance to be enjoyed young, and the structure and complexity to continue to improve with age.
