Materra Cunat Family Vineyards Right Bank 2013 The 2013 vintage:Napa Valley exhibited textbook weather for grape growing in 2013. The year started off with healthy winter rains whi ch led into a warm, dry spring and brought an early bud break with ideal growing conditions. The extended heat spike in early July made summer temperatures consistently warm, allowing the grapes to mature steadily and develop complex flavors. The general consensus from our winemakers and staff is 2013 is an "oh wow" year. Accolades: 91 Points; Wine and Spirits90 Points; Wine Spectator Winemaking notes: With a backbone of our estate-grown Merlot, this classic Right Bank blend exhibits black cherry, currant, and dusty cedar. With a uniquely floral nose, orange blossom, honeysuckle, dried cherries, and chalky tannins, this well-balanced wine will continue to age nicely over the next 7-10 years. Pair with seasonal vegetables, pot roast, pork loin, smoked meats, and cheese like gouda.
