This vintage might well be the finest Martini Alexander Valley cab I’ve tasted. Martini also produces a Napa Valley cab that outshines this wine, but that would be a tall order in this vintage. The 2013 delivers exceptional ripeness and fruit purity, is beautifully balanced and shows a long, seductive finish with exceptional persistence. The oak is nicely judged, lending a subtle spice note. A platinum award-winner at the San Diego International Wine Challenge.
