Lieber Max Mustermann,

dass der Jahrgang 2013 in Kalifornien besonders gut sein soll, hat sich ja schon herumgesprochen. Mitte Mai war ich 10 Tage in Kalifornien auf Verkostungsreise und ich konnte mich vor Ort davon überzeugen, dass dies tatsächlich so ist. Es ist ein ganz außergewöhnlicher, fantastischer Jahrgang, sicherlich einer der besten Jahrgänge in der Weingeschichte Kaliforniens! Die Weine haben eine Energie, eine Wucht, Struktur und Komplexität, einen Biss, eine Attraktivität der man sich nicht entziehen kann. Die 2013er Weine haben von Allem sehr viel – und das ist auch noch im Gleichgewicht! Fakt ist, die 2013er Weine werden mehrere Jahrzehnte viel Freude machen!

Es ist sehr spannend, was sich in Kalifornien so tut. Es gibt eine ganze Riege junger Weinmacher, die in Top-Weingütern gelernt haben und jetzt eigene Labels gründen. Mit einigen davon habe ich mich getroffen. Interessanterweise orientiert sich diese jüngere Generation eher an der frischeren und eleganteren Stilistik von Philip Togni, Dunn oder Cathy Corison und nicht an Blockbuster-Stilistiken die auf hohe Bewertungen von Parker und Co. abzielen. Die Weine sollen gut zum Essen passen - und man soll sie gerne trinken, ohne träge und satt davon zu werden.

Kalifornien

Das nehme ich gerne zum Anlass um Ihnen heute den 2013er Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley von Cathy Corison vorzustellen. Cathy Corison beschreibt den Wein wie folgt: „2013 was a near-perfect vintage. The weather was ideal for flowering in the spring, which resulted in a plentiful crop, followed by an unseasonably cool summer with highs seldom climbing out of the 80F’s, and nary a heat spike over 95F. The nighttime temperatures were correspondingly chilly, which gave the wine a firm structure on which to hang the complex flavors.
A particularly luscious texture coupled with snappy natural acidity is a delight, providing a yin and yang duality. Aromas and flavors tend toward the dark end of the Cabernet fruit spectrum with blueberries, black cherries, blackberries and dark plums all singing in close harmony. Complexing notes include tobacco, baking spices, chocolate, and savory herbs including sage, thyme and basil. Floral notes of violets and rose petals play with a notable stony minerality in the aromas and long finish."

- 96 Punkte und somit unter den 5 BESTEN CABERNETS KALIFORNIENS aus 2013 in der DECANTER Kalifornien Beilage 2016 "Californian Cabernet 2013", William Kelley: "Beautifully perfumed aromas of rose petal, violets, blackberry, dark chocolate and incipient cigar tobacco burst from the glass in a striking array, the prelude to a wine that’s structured around refined, savoury tannins and juicy accidity. An ethereal and classically proportioned Cabernet wich will age effortlessly thanks to its flawless balance, likely putting on weight with bottle age. TERRIFIC STUFF, NOT TO BE MISSED. "
- 94 Punkte VINOUS Antonio Galloni: "A deep, inky wine, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is endowed with serious depth. Here the flavors are unusually dark and intense, with plenty of blue and black stone fruits. Graphite, cloves and licorice contribute to an overall impression of gravitas. Far from an easygoing wine, the 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet needs time in bottle to truly shine. Hints of violet, lavender and plum add the final shades of nuance. All of the signatures of the vintage come through beautifully. The translucent, mineral-laced finish is especially appealing. FRANKLY, IT'S HARD TO PUT THE GLASS DOWN."
- 95 Punkte INTERNATIONAL WINE REPORT: "The 2013 is ANOTHER REMARKABLE WINE TO ADD TO THE IMPRESSIVE LIST OF AMAZING NAPA VALLEY CABERNET FROM CATHY CORISON. This instantly opens with irresistible aromas of fresh ripe blackberries and currants woven together with loads of intense violets and graphite, along with hints of dried sage and pencil shavings. On the palate this shows remarkable concentration and depth, yet remains beautifully balanced and focused with wonderful purity through the velvety, layered finish. This improves with each second in the glass and I only expect this to continue to evolve gracefully for many years to come. The 2013 certainly has a wonderful future in store."
- „EXCEPTIONAL" IN DAN BERGERS VINTAGE EXPERIENCES: „Exceptional - The classic 1980s Napa Cabernet aroma of sage, red cherry, cassis and a trace of tar. THIS IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF A NAPA VALLEY CABERNET AT ITS BEST, a wine that will age for at least a decade since it is made from very mature vines and by a wine maker whose track record is unblemished for perfection."
- „VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED" IN CALIFORNIA GRAPEVINE: „Medium-dark purplish ruby; attractive, deep, blueberry and blackberry fruit aroma with herbal notes and hints of cassis, mocha, tobacco, and baking spices; full body; deep, concentrated, red and black fruit flavors that are well balanced and firmly structured; full tannin; lingering aftertaste…VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED."
