Hunnicutt

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

9.5

Only had two bottles left. I opened this because I had the ‘13 935 the other night and it was on the backside of life. Great but most of the tension was gone. I opened this up thinking it too might not have much time left. It’s gorgeous. The tannins are mostly resolved but there’s still a touch of pucker on the finish providing a nice framing to the fruit. Also some acidity providing structure and tension.
The mouthfeel is incredible. Love the fruit. Black currant pinch, blackberry, coffee, with kirsch and black tea.
This bottle was my first experience with Hunnicutt. It and @Jason and Jennie ‘s reviews led to me joining the club. It’s my favorite club because of both the wine and the people. Tonight is a good wine night. Nice work @Justin Stephens

@David T thanks for the advice. I’ll grab a couple ‘14s. I’ll also add this ‘13 to our 2030 party where we open up my second ‘09 Pontet Canet! Will be a great night! 😜

Great tasting last night of wines below with @Justin Stephens and @Andrew Bohi over Zoom with a great group of friends including @James K. We missed @Vanessa and @J Greene.
It seemed everyone had a different favorite which speaks well to the quality and consistency from Hunnicutt. My WoTN was the Brinkman.
Dinner at Our Paladar in Rochester, MN. If you’re in the area or visiting, you have to check it out! Food and people are amazing!
