CABAUD
2013 BENEDICTIONS
CABERNET SAUVIGNON
OAKVILLE, NAPA VALLEY
What do you get when you combine the highest level of winemaking with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from one of Andy Beckstoffer’s heritage vineyards in Oakville? You get a wine that competes with the best in the world… Many of you know winemaker Luc Morlet from his work at Newton Cellars, Peter Michael, or from his own label Morlet which is raking in 100 point scores… We brought you another wine from Cabaud earlier this year that many of you said was one of the best that you had ever tasted. The 2013 Benedictions is the top wine produced at Cabaud and it’s made from the iconic Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard in Oakville. The previous vintage caught the eye of Robert Parker who scored the 2012 94-96 Points and the new vintage is even better…
Finding new wines made by top winemakers, that are somewhat unheard of, pays off big at times… I would estimate Morlet’s Cabs to range from $165 to around $300/btl. At $150 Cabaud is a killer deal…I cannot put into words how incredible this wine is. Wines of this caliber and at this price never last long… I wouldn’t hesitate to secure yours.

Tasting Notes: “An intense, glass-staining purple color combines beautifully with flavors of blueberry pie filling, with muddled blackberries, red currant, bramble, white flowers and bakers chocolate. The supple, full-bodied opulence, sweet tannin, and rich, dense center core intermingle with the powerful fruit to seduce you with the first sip. The finish is long, powerful and supple with just enough fruit tannins to allow this one to age for a decade or so. Kudos to Luke Morlet for crafting such a stunning wine.” 96 Points, Kevin M. Vogt, Master Sommelier
